We will act as an global ecosystem to bring together the enormous but currently siloed and disorganised sector of waste management which otherwise is filled with commendable big and small inventions where individual companies are working to the best of their capabilities to bring about a change in the degrading environment and planet but with little success.

RUCO Consultancy & Used Cooking Oil Management

Reusing of cooking oil can lead to many chronic diseases like Diabetes, hypertension and cardiac problems. It will lead to Ulcers & Cancers. Due to the mentioned health problems by using the used cooking oil FSSAI has come up with below mentioned RUCO program.

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched RUCO – Repurpose Used Cooking Oil, an system that will enable the collection and conversion of used cooking oil to biodiesel. India being one of the largest consumers of vegetable oil, India has the potential to collect more than 200 crore liters of Used Cooking Oil for the production of biodiesel by the year 2022 through coordinated action, that can fuel up the Indian Biodiesel Industry as well as Indian green energy industry.

The Food Safety And Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has already issued a guidance note in 2018 outlining the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on handling and disposal of UCO. These SOPs clearly mention that the UCO should not be disposed off into the municipal sewers or drains. Rather, it should be discarded in an environmentally friendly way, preferably by providing it to the authorized used cooking oil aggregators/collectors duly registered with authorized groups.
