In the constant search for sustainable practices that respect the environment and do not contribute to climate change, recycling has become a fundamental pillar to reduce our ecological footprint. One of the everyday items that often goes unnoticed and can be very polluting is used cooking oil. What's more, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Spanish households consumed almost 12 liters of oil per person in 2021, as reported in this report from La Vanguardia. With these data, it is not surprising that it is more than advisable to look for alternatives to the direct disposal of used oil to transform it into a new material and give it a second use. In this way, we will achieve a double objective: we will prevent it from having a negative impact on the environment and, at the same time, we will have a new utensil or tool that we can use without having to spend money. Below, we give you a series of ideas that you can carry out in your own home to take advantage of the oil that you use daily and thus recycle it.
Cooking oil can become a very versatile material capable of contributing to a more sustainable and planet-friendly lifestyle. By adopting these practices, you will not only be taking care of the environment, but also incorporating innovation into your daily life.
