The Lifecycle of a Drop of Oil: From Fryer to Fuel Tank
Follow the incredible journey of a single drop of used cooking oil as it's collected, recycled through ONE ECO Loop, and transformed into clean-burning biodiesel that powers our communities.
The Carbon Cycle of Biodiesel
The CO2 released from burning biodiesel is offset by the CO2 absorbed by the plants (like soy, canola) that originally produced the oil, making it a nearly carbon-neutral fuel source.
Why You Shouldn't Pour Oil Down the Drain
Pouring oil down the drain causes 'fatbergs'—huge, solid masses in sewer systems that lead to blockages, overflows, and costly repairs for the city.
Fleet Vehicles Love Biodiesel
Many city buses, garbage trucks, and government fleets run on biodiesel blends because it's a simple way to reduce emissions without needing major engine modifications.
Certifications for Sustainability
Look for sustainability certifications like ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) which ensure that UCO and biofuels are sourced and produced responsibly.
The Role of Small-Scale Producers
Small-scale biodiesel producers, including hobbyists and community groups, play a vital role in localizing energy production and reducing waste on a grassroots level.
What Happens to the 'Bad' Oil?
Even oil that's too contaminated for high-grade biodiesel can often be used for lower-grade industrial heating oil or in other chemical processes, ensuring very little goes to waste.
