From Fryer to Fuel: The Hidden Value of Used Cooking Oil
Used cooking oil might look like waste at the end of a busy shift, but for restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, and food facilities across South Texas, it’s actually a valuable commodity. When handled correctly, it becomes one of the simplest ways to support sustainability and generate ongoing returns for your business.
Why Used Cooking Oil Still Has Value
Once collected, used cooking oil can be refined into renewable fuels, including biodiesel. This turns everyday kitchen waste into a cleaner energy source that supports environmental responsibility across the region.
Many businesses don’t realize that:
• Used cooking oil has a consistent market value
• Clean and properly stored oil earns higher payouts
• A recycling partner can provide secure pickup and handle compliance
• Recycling reduces environmental risks and improper disposal issues
At Fatty Chem, we’ve built our services around making this process easy, reliable, and financially beneficial for businesses in South Texas.
