Münzer Bharat launches UCO awareness campaign in Goa

In collaboration with the local Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Münzer Bharat recently spearheaded a comprehensive outreach initiative in Goa aimed at promoting sustainable used-cooking-oil (UCO) management and safeguarding public health. The event brought together local residents and representatives from leading hospitality establishments in the Village Panchayat conference hall.

The team showcased Münzer Bharat’s proven methods for UCO collection and conversion, underscoring the environmental benefits of proper disposal and the risks associated with improper reuse. Attendees were guided through three core topics:

• FDA Disposal Guidelines for Used Cooking Oil
  Mandatory regulations governing UCO disposal were outlined, demonstrating how to implement these rules to prevent damage to municipal wastewater systems and ensure legal compliance.
• Health Hazards of Reusing Cooking Oil
  Illustrative materials highlighted the toxic compounds that accumulate in repeatedly heated oil and explained how these substances pose serious health risks to consumers.
• Münzer Bharat’s Role in UCO Collection
  A step-by-step overview detailed the journey from container placement at partner sites through processing and transformation into biodiesel, fostering trust through transparency.

An interactive Q&A segment enabled local restaurateurs to share their challenges and receive tailored advice to optimize their disposal processes. The strong level of engagement affirmed that education and collaborative support are essential for an effective circular economy.

Münzer Bharat remains committed to partnering with communities and regulatory bodies to advance environmentally responsible practices and protect public health. Future awareness efforts are planned for additional regions in the coming months.
