Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Sustainability trends:

Today, an increasing number of consumers and companies are looking for green products and services. This discourages littering as one would collect the waste, for example, used cooking oil for recycling such as biodiesel. For a circular economy, recycling and reuse are important points. Below is the analysis and discussion of what kind of oil is ideal for this purpose, used cooking oil (UCO). It can also be converted into biodiesel, hence the need to prevent it from being dumped in landfills. Today there are many sustainable strategies implemented by various companies to fulfill their responsibilities. This includes DVC appling for energy and the UCO stream being recycled for production.

• Biodiesel production:

From this perspective, biodiesel is cost-effective as the feedstock, used oil, costs less than virgin material. This increases profits. As established, biodiesel obtained from UCO is renewable hence sustainable. This meets the growing demand of customers for such environmentally friendly products. Authorities often manipulate the market by providing subsidies, tax credits, and/or mandates to stakeholders in the biodiesel industry. They particularly promote the use of renewable sources such as poultry oil. These incentives further increase biodiesel production; as a result, the use of UCO increases. The high cost of reaching environmental standards for fossil fuels makes switching to biodiesel an attractive proposition. These regulations are well addressed by easy-to-use and readily available platforms such as UCO.

• Technological advancements:

Technological advancements are helping to make it easier to convert used cooking oil or UCO into biodiesel. Technologies such as supercritical fluid extraction and enzymatic transesterification now produce biodiesel with greater purity. These innovations also reduce the cost of collecting, transporting, and processing UCO. For example, through automated systems and improved supply chains, costs can be reduced. Better methods of analysis enable UCO to meet the biodiesel standard. This also gives the final product greater reliability and performance. In addition, these advancements enable the use of more types of UCO. This enhances supply services in the luxury market.
