The conceptual idea of recycling used cooking oil mobile application: A recommendation for environment sustainability / Mudiana Mokhsin … [et al.]

In general, most of the consumers in Malaysia would throw away their cooking oil just after one
or two times of usage. Waste of the cooking oil is one of the root causes of water pollution as
well as the cause of clogged the sink and drainage system in the residential areas. These situations
occur due to bad habits of people to simply throw away used cooking oil that would affect and
harm the environment. As the world moves forward to a sustainable city and greener
environment, the society need to tackle this bad habit from becoming worse. This paper proposes
a conceptual idea on how to educate, promote, create awareness as well as encourage the public
to be more responsible in managing and disposing used cooking oil. The objective of this study
is also aligned and inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDG 1: No
Poverty and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
