Noor Oil, one of IFCCO’s flagship brands, has announced a partnership with BEEAH Group to facilitate the recycling of used cooking oil as an alternative biofuel.
Speaking about the process, Rizwan Ahmed, Executive Director at IFFCO Group, explained that consumers can collect a UCO bottle from a Noor representative in an approved outlet and fill it with used oil that has been cooled. This can then be deposited in the used cooking oil collection machines before consumers pick up a new UCO container.
“Facilitating positive environmental change has never been more accessible for the public to become ambassadors for change by recycling their used cooking oil and having it converted into bio diesel by BEEAH, the regional experts in sustainability solutions,” said Ahmed.
The BEEAH machines are currently located in Sharjah National Park, Al Gharayen, Umm Al Moumineen Women’s Association, Rashidya 3, and Dubai’s JLT, near Tim Hortons, it was shared.
Rafael Sanjurjo Lopez, CEO of BEEAH Tandeef, added: “We are proud to be part of this movement, as it reflects our own commitment to circular economies and zero-waste cities; while providing the public with a sustainable and smart solution that helps them to contribute to a socially responsible future.”
Adding: “By repurposing cooking oil, we are generating alternative fuel and saving water, aiding the achievement of national and global targets in emissions control and climate action. With the support of NOOR Oil and its loyal customer base, we expect at least 2,000 shoppers to use the UCO bottles in the first year, saving at least two million litres of water. As this service gains traction, we expect this figure to grow exponentially, creating greater impact for a sustainable and environmentally secure future.”
