1000 tonnes of frying fat and cooking oil collected in NIS

In 2025, more than 1,000 tons of used cooking oil and fat were collected across the Austrian state of Lower Austria and converted into sustainable biodiesel. This effort helped reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 3.1 million kilograms. Officials highlighted the environmental benefits of proper disposal, noting that this process protects sewage systems while contributing to climate protection. The success was attributed to partnerships between local authorities, environmental organizations, and the Münzer Bioindustrie company. Over the past five years, collection volumes have increased by around 20 percent, reflecting growing public awareness and participation in sustainable waste management practices. Used oils and fats are collected through designated containers and processed into high-quality biodiesel, which produces up to 93 percent fewer CO₂ emissions compared to fossil diesel. Future goals include expanding collection efforts and improving existing systems to involve more households.
