Restaurants, cafés, hotels, and other businesses operating in the food industry use large amounts of vegetable oils during food preparation. However, if these oils are not collected and disposed of properly, they can cause significant environmental pollution. That’s why the management of used vegetable oils is safeguarded by legal regulations in our country.

What Do the Regulations Say?

The Regulation on the Control of Used Vegetable Oils requires businesses to hand over their used vegetable oils to licensed collection companies. This regulation aims to prevent waste oils from being carelessly poured down the drain or collected illegally, which can harm the environment.

In addition, the Waste Management Regulation and the Environmental Law define the waste management responsibilities of businesses, supported by inspections and penalties. Businesses that hand over their waste oils to unlicensed collectors or fail to deliver them at all may face significant administrative fines.

Why Is This So Important?

One liter of waste oil can pollute approximately one million liters of drinking water. It can clog sewer systems, reduce the efficiency of treatment plants, and contaminate underground and surface water sources. Therefore, the responsibility of businesses is not only a legal obligation but also vital for environmental and human health.
