KUALA LUMPUR: Realising the importance of proper disposal of used cooking oil, a group of researchers developed a more effective storage container to make it easier for the public to collect oil waste at home for recycling purposes.

Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) lecturer Zaifilla Farrina Zainuddin, who is the project leader, said the product prototype made of high-density polyethylene plastic and stainless steel has a fine filter element that is able to sieve and maintain the oil waste in ideal condition before it is processed into bio-diesel.
