The renowned Spanish chef, Karlos Arguiñano, proposes a sustainable solution to discard dirty oil and bets on the common sense and responsibility of users.
Although it is very usual to throw the oil used by the sink, it is not a correct practice because it is highly polluting, with great environmental impact and damage the pipes.
It is estimated that a liter of oil has a polluting power that reaches up to 1,000 liters of water, according to the AQUAE Foundation cited by Alimente.
The oil makes water reuse more difficult, damages the pipes and generates the formation of fatbergs, large accumulations of fat and waste in the pipes.
Consciousness is the key to domestic recycling
Arguiñano explains that “90% of people threw dirty oil through the sink. There will be those who continue doing that and will not care, but that is a real guarrada. ”
One of the ways it proposes is store the oil in a container and then take it to a point for recycling, since it not only helps protect the environment, but also contributes to a more sustainable economy. In addition, it helps prevent home damage.
