Aris BioEnergy intends to work shoulder to shoulder alongside FSSAI, RUCO, and the Government of India to raise awareness amongst the masses around UCO (Used Cooking Oil).
Indians enjoy their indulgence with fast food and street food items. However, we have little awareness about the process employed while preparing these dishes. Mostly, such items are cooked by reheating the oil, sometimes more than four to five times. As a matter of consequence, this acts like a slow poison leading to many serious ailments in the body. It can cause many life-threatening diseases such as liver diseases, Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosis, or hypertension. Discarding the oil in the sink is an equally unstable option as it clogs the drainage system resulting in water-logging issues during the monsoon season.
According to FSSAI, any cooking oil can be reheated twice. If it is heated and consumed beyond this number, then it loses its nutritious value as the TPC (Total Polar Compounds) rises above 25% and the cooking oil becomes rancid. In such a case, the oil should be collected and contributed to producing biodiesel.
Also, with rapid advancements taking place all around us, conserving fuel becomes a challenge. To support the growing population and increased infrastructural demands, it becomes indispensable to arrange for safe, environmentally friendly alternatives for transportation.
At Aris BioEnergy, we are committed to providing humanity with safe, renewable fuel alternatives. We collect leftover cooking oil from commercial eateries, residences and convert it to biodiesel. This significantly helps in reducing pollution and contributes to healthy living thus creating a greener, healthier planet.
