Honduras scheme fat cooking oil turns into the soap and dog food

A few 27-year-olds look at cooking oil and look at a green business opportunity to produce soap or dog food.

But Hugo Daniel Chávez, NGO Sustenta Honduras made Hugo Daniel Chávez, a project manager for Honduras.

“We have many enterprises and domestic practices in our waste, so we try to change waste and give a second life,” he said.

A few million tons of cooking oil is consumed every year between Latin America. It is often used to eat, mainly chicken, plantain strips, chips and pork.

But as often as it is in Honduras, it can create bad compounds for consumers’ health, as it is often used in Honduras used in frequently.

He was thrown in the wrong way, and the environment can affect the mass harmful.

If the sink loosens, it can damage pipes and pollutes groundwater and pollute the fresh water and plants of many communities when thrown by the side of the road.

Faced with these health and environmental dangers, young green entrepreneurs behind Sustenta, only a business tried to make it a promotion to properly correct their oil and oils, but also to turn these waste products to something useful.

NGO Executive Director Ricardo Pineda explains that their views are caused by previous efforts to biodiesize the food oil used in different companies and organizations. “But in Honduras, we do not have a market for biodiesel,” he says.

“Thus, we decided to produce products that can be good in our domestic markets (such as soap and IT.).”

To make people selling people to unscrupulous buyers, it offers to buy food butter to make the oil supply to be legally attractive, to purchase the foods used in their projects regularly.

Their efforts were awarded the 2023 Youth4climate energy challenge, the 2023 youth4clime energy challenge, led by the Italian government and the United Nations Development Program.

Daustenta also told the BBC that the BBC told the BBC that the BBC had an innovative and useful solution to the BBC, using an initiative of social impact, “he said.

“This (their project) allows the establishment of a circular economy, as well as the most affected groups and women from both young people and women and climate change.”

Sustenta offers 2.50 to 3.50 with 3.50 lempiras (0.08 and 0.1) per food oil used.

And this is not just small businesses where it works.

In May 2024, NGOs signed a contract with the Mexican and Central American branch of the retail giant Walmart.

This agreement provides food oil and oil flow used by all companies related to Walmart in violence of Walmart, said by Mr. Pineda’s Deli.

“It was necessary to have a valid flow to increase production.

It then brings a plant to a plant that they are treated with a reaction that they cleaned the cooking butter and fatty and are well known as Safe. This process combines oils or oils with an alkaline to produce soap.

Mr. Pineda says Daustenta’s “circular environmental system we repeat everything”.

“In addition to our plant producing soap and shark food, there is another person’s water treatment plant and we will not be able to use water, water to cool the water for our cooling system,” he said.

The idea of ​​getting acquainted with the team with Walmart, Mr. Pineda says that “sells cleansed dog food and soap cleaned from Walmart”.

“They can win from their waste and can also see the economic value behind the circular economies,” he said.

15 Lampiras (£ 0.45) brings monthly income from 106,000 lempiras (3194.70 TL), which excludes fixed expenses such as project, project, salary, commission and distribution.

Mr Pineda emphasizes “money that money is not with us.” “We are only helping the project, and how soon we are looking for new opportunities,” he said.

Recycling of cooking grass is a few projects that are simultaneously.

The organization consists of young people, all 30 years old and an average of 23 years old, and impatience with youth enthusiasm and work.

“We have started as a young group of sick regularly, the climate change and the environment are solved,” Mr. Pineda.

“We want to create actual solutions and talk about what it can only be done.”

Their strategy also differs from other young environmental organizations in the region, which focuses on approaching the value of faced or to suspend energy projects and prosecute politicians for corruption.

However, Sausta’s Project Coordinator, Paola Acevedo, two approaching two approaches, but “This type of classical) is very important and we do not need it.”

“Others try to pay attention to solutions while fighting in the forefront.”
