Proper use for waste oil

THE CRACKING OF THE BIGGEST CASE EVER involving the production and sale of recycled edible oil from swill, points not just to health hazards from eating food cooked with such oil. It also raises the question of how such waste edible oil can be reused in a friendly manner.
What is particularly noteworthy is the involvement of a "bio-energy" firm in the case, in which 32 suspects have been detained for the production and sale of the hazardous oil in 14 provinces.
The firm based in Shandong province collected waste cooking oil under the pretense of recycling it into bio-diesel, but it actually recycled the waste oil into cooking oil and sold it to restaurants.
