Brazil used cooking oil management initiatives

Overview

Efforts to manage used cooking oil disposal in Brazil are expanding through both environmental programs and technological proposals. In the Rio+Saneamento initiative, the ‘Trata Óleo’ program has collected over 2,000 liters of oil across 18 municipalities using 81 voluntary delivery points. This collected oil is processed by cooperatives for biodiesel production, a cycle credited with preventing significant CO2 emissions and preserving water resources.

In Campo Grande, local authorities are exploring similar mitigation strategies to address irregular disposal. Discussions in the City Council have highlighted the ‘ÓleoPonto’ platform, a technological solution designed to manage collection and treatment logistics. Data presented to the council indicates a significant gap in waste management, noting that while residents consume approximately 250,000 liters of oil monthly, only 60,000 liters are currently disposed of correctly.
