Cooking Oil Waste on the Rise in the Hospitality Sector
With the UK food service industry thriving at levels higher than pre-pandemic, the volume of used cooking oil being generated is at an all-time high.
Restaurants, takeaways, hospitality kitchens, and catering operations are producing more oil waste than ever, making responsible disposal an urgent priority.
Why is cooking oil waste so high?
- Increased demand for fried and convenience foods
- Expansion of delivery-only and franchise kitchen models
- Stricter regulations banning oil disposal into drains
Many businesses underestimate how quickly oil waste can accumulate and how costly it can be to handle improperly. Blocked drains, pest problems, and environmental fines are just a few of the potential consequences.
