Global Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Used cooking oil (UCO) refers to oil that has been previously used for frying, sautéing, or other cooking processes and is no longer fit for reuse in food preparation. Over time, the oil degrades due to exposure to heat, moisture, and food particles, resulting in changes to its chemical composition and flavor. UCO is typically disposed of, but it has gained increasing value for recycling purposes. It can be processed into biodiesel, a renewable energy source, or utilized in industrial applications such as animal feed or soap production. Proper disposal and recycling of UCO help reduce environmental impact, prevent clogging of sewer systems, and contribute to sustainable energy solutions.
