VIDIA MAPS
Thanks to the collaboration with Google Maps, you can locate all our containers of used cooking oil in communities and schools. These containers are strategically placed so that you can dispose of your used cooking oil responsibly and contribute to recycling and the sustainability of the planet.
Here are some important details about properly managing used cooking oil:
What Are Used Cooking Oils? They are fats of animal or vegetable origin, such as olive or sunflower seed oil, which are used in the preparation and cooking of food in homes, restaurants, institutions, and other places. These oils, once discarded, must be managed properly to avoid environmental problems.
Where are they generated? Used cooking oils are generated in:
- Homes: In the kitchens of homes.
- Commercial activities: In catering and hospitality establishments such as bars, restaurants, hotels and collective canteens.
- Public administration and facilities: In educational centres, soup kitchens and institutions.
Importance of proper management: Disposing of used cooking oils through sinks or toilets can cause clogged pipes and increase wastewater treatment costs. In addition, it pollutes water and affects ecosystems. A single liter of oil can contaminate a thousand liters of water.
How to contribute:
- Locate containers: Use VIDIA MAPS to find nearby containers.
- Dispose of oil in tightly closed plastic bottles: Avoid bags and other containers.
- Recycle and help a more sustainable world: Your small action makes a difference.
Remember that every gesture counts. Together we can create a cleaner and more sustainable world! 🌎🌱
