Abstract

Millions of used cooking oil are thrown into the sink, poured down the drain or thrown on the ground causing damage to ecosystems, river pollution, clogging and dirty pipes and drains. Our intention of introducing the “ECOOIL” is to reduce environmental effects, greenhouse gas emissions and other types of pollution that could be resulting from oil consumption. Additionally, this invention might prevent clogging and reduce the flow capacity of the pipes. ECOOIL also can help cut diesel usage in Malaysian transportation by replacing fossil diesel with biodiesel made from palm oil recycled from collected used cooking oil. We believe that the concept of ECOOIL, which would collect and solidify used cooking oil and offer cash in exchange, has found a way to begin correcting this situation. This ECOOIL comes with a design that is user-friendly controls, making it accessible to a wide range of users. This machine is suitable and conveniently helps households, industrial kitchens or restaurants dispose of their used cooking oil without harmful practices. Through the automation of the collection process and the promotion of appropriate disposal methods, our ECOOIL aims to lessen the negative environmental effects of used cooking oil while fostering effective recycling of this vital resource. The machine creates an environmental awareness by encouraging individuals to participate in sustainable waste cooking oil management practices. The resources for this study were gathered through library research. The methods of data collection, description, and analysis are used in this study, and then a conclusion is drawn.
