Abu Dhabi Works towards Cooking Oil Recycling Plan
by Anwar Ahmad (Gulf News) Abu Dhabi will open a new facility to recycle used cooking oil by the end of this year, a top official from Tadweer, the Centre of Waste Management in Abu Dhabi, said on Tuesday.

“We have a facility to treat the used vehicle engine oil in Abu Dhabi but we don’t have the used cooking oil facility yet, but soon we will have it,” Al Mehairbi said.
It’s very important to start recycling used cooking oil, he said, because cooking oil from homes, cafeterias, restaurants and commercial outlets goes to landfills or is drained through kitchen sinks and clogs the drainage system and the government has to shell out huge money to clean them.
At a roundtable media briefing, Al Mehairbi said other upcoming projects of Tadweer include controlling the emission of methane gas from Al Dhafra landfill, besides enhanced management and treatment of medical and hazardous waste in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra regions. READ MORE
