Since November 29, the environmental organization " Valorfrit ", Belgium, has launched a campaign to collect used oil and fat in more than 2,000 large and small supermarkets in Belgium.

Valorfrit said 57% of cooking oil, used fried fat can be recycled into biodiesel; Another 35% can be processed into raw materials for products such as plywood, plastic sheets or industrial soap and 8% will be used as fuel in the " clean " power production process.

Valorfrit believes that as well as used fuel cells, or damaged electronic devices and plastic bags, used cooking oil and grease must be collected and recycled in accordance with the process.

In 2005, Belgium collected about 6,470 tons of used cooking oil and fat through containers located at collection points.

However, up to now, nearly half of Belgian families have not been in the habit of saving cooking oil and fried fat used to bring the above points, which are often dumped into the environment (unprocessed), causing pollution. Contamination to the water surface.
