Waste Vegetable Oil

Vegetable oil that has been used or has become unfit for food preparation. Also known as WVO.

As small-scale and home-produced biodiesel production has become more popular, waste vegetable oil and restaurant grease has become more sought after. Restaurants and others with WVO have also realized that they have a commodity they may be able to give away, reducing their costs for transportation to a landfill. Websites like NC Biomass Trader have sprung up to connect people looking for WVO and organizations looking to offload this waste product.
