By filling the NÖLI with used cooking oil/fat, you are helping to reduce the burden on the environment and helping to ensure that used cooking oil and fat are recycled into biodiesel. The Christmas season offers us the opportunity to act more consciously and sustainably. By minimizing food waste and disposing of it properly, we help reduce environmental impact during the holidays

St. Pölten (OTS) – While many households prepare festive fondue at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, care should be taken to dispose of cooking fat correctly. Used cooking oil and grease have no place in drainpipes, sewer networks and sewage treatment plants. There are costs involved here, because every liter of cooking oil that is disposed of down the drain or toilet causes follow-up costs.
Since 2002, old cooking fat and oil has been collected in Lower Austria with the NÖLI. The NÖLI, a practical, yellow 3-liter collection container, is available free of charge at the municipalities’ and environmental associations’ waste/recyclables collection centers. Full NÖLIs can be exchanged for cleaned containers at the collection points!
