The Benefits of Recycling Used Cooking Oil
Too many commercial kitchens incorrectly dispose of used cooking oil. However, Cookers aims to recycle used cooking oil to minimise waste and contribute to Australia’s National Waste Policy of a 10% waste reduction per person by 2030.
Cookers has celebrated its 21st birthday on November 6, 2021 which is a significant milestone. From small beginnings in Laverton North, Cookers has grown to being a national business operating out of 10 sites. Covering both metropolitan and regional areas.
Cooking oil is an essential ingredient in a commercial kitchen. It’s also an ingredient that requires some extra care. From the hazards of handling hot oil through to safely disposing of it once used, managing the life cycle of this vital product is something every venue serving food needs to think about.
Tocopherol is one of the most common forms of Vitamin E.
We are always looking for actions that can be helpful to the environment. Our used oil collection reduces carbon emissions through three key ways:
1- We cut down on landfill by not using tins
2- Our used oil gets turned into biodiesel
3- Our HQ uses rain water and wind energy from our very own wind turbine
Cookers is committed to sustainability. To this end, we have installed a number of rainwater tanks in our depots across the country. Much of the water used at Cookers’ depots throughout Australia is recycled rainwater.
