been launched on the Costa del Sol
AN exciting new scheme to convert used cooking oil into biodiesel has been launched on the Costa del Sol.
The aim is to sell the biodiesel back to town halls as a more economical means of refuelling their vehicles.
It follows an agreement between the Western Costa del Sol Association and environmental firms Urbaser and Grupo Phoenix-BioGreen, using the urban waste recycling plant at Casares.
“It should bring great economic and environmental benefits,” said association president Margarita del Cid.
Another 40 containers are to be added to the existing 73 currently used to collect cooking oil along the coast.
A further 100 bins will also be installed at hotels and restaurants.
