1. NEVER POUR AWAY USED
COOKING OIL!
ONE LITRE OF WASTE COOKING
OIL POLLUTES A MILLION LITRES
OF WATER.

2. Frying under normal conditions and
consuming fried food in reasonable
quantities is not harmful at all.
The process of frying can destroy
microbes (germs) in or on the food.
Vegetable oil is often rich in vitamin E.
And finally fried food is not only popular
for its taste, but also contains large
quantity of calories.

3. USED VEGETABLE OIL
• After frying food in vegetable oil for the second time, the oil should
not be used again.
• Used oil contains higher concentration of free radicals, which may be
linked to causing cancers.
• Waste oil reacts with oxygen in the air, causing the formation of
harmful substances (e.g. peroxides), which may damage the
digestive system.

5. Used vegetable oil and animal fat should never be poured into the sink
or toilet or thrown in the bin.
Waste oil may cause fire at landfill sites or rubbish dumps.
Oil in the waste water system blocks sewage pipes and therefore
increases the repair costs for the municipality.
THE EFFECTS OF USED OIL ON THE ENVIRONMENT

6. Oil poured down the drain clogs the sewage system

7. HOW USED OIL EFFECTS THE ENVIROMENT
Waste oil thrown in the bin
can seep into the soil and be
washed into groundwater,
which is an important source
of drinking water.
25% of water pollution is
caused by waste oil.

8. IMPACT OF OIL WASTE ON THE ENVIROMENT
Oil covers the surface
of lakes and waterways
and stops the
exchange of oxygen
between the air and
water.
The oil also reacts with
oxygen, further
decreasing its
availability to living
organisms in the water.

9. Pollution of sea water leads to increasing numbers of
jelly fish.

11. DATA FOR TURKEY
• 250,000 tons of waste oil is produced each year, all of which
should be collected and recycled. At the moment, the
capacity to collect is about 25,000 tons per year.
• However, only 200 grams per person is actually collected
each year.
DATA FOR THE EU
• In the European Union, 2.4 kg/person should be
collected each year, 1.2 kg can be collected.

13. • We must all minimise the harmful effects of waste oil. In many
countries, as well as in Turkey, it is illegal to pour used oil into the
sewage system, into running or stagnant water or into landfill.
• As the EU started taking action much earlier, there is less oil
contamination in waste water in the EU than in Turkey.
• As this problem threatens our future and our daily lives, we need to
take action now and avoid further pollution.
• Wherever we eat, we should ask about the use of cooking oil, how
many times it’s reused and how it’s disposed of.
WHAT WE SHOULD DO

14. We have to run
campaigns to inform other
people in our community
about waste oil and
collection.We have to
organize more collection
points for recycling oil.
WHAT WE SHOULD DO

15. • to protect water sources,
• to protect other living organisms,
• to protect water supply and sewage systems,
• and to contribute to the national economy.
WHY WE SHOULD NOT POUR USED OIL AWAY

19. The collected
vegetable oil will be
converted into
biodiesel, a liquid
fuel for diesel
engines.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WASTE OIL?
