Project UCOllector – EMKA S.A.’s Green Initiative.
One of the most innovative projects implemented by EMKA S.A. is the UCOllector system, a modern infrastructure dedicated to the collection of used cooking oil. UCOllectors are devices that allow residents to conveniently and safely donate UCO, which often ends up in the sewage system, causing damage to the environment. With this project, the company not only minimizes the negative impact of used oil on the ecosystem, but also promotes environmental responsibility among the community. The oil is recycled, turned into recyclable materials or used for biofuel production, which is in line with the idea of a closed loop economy. The project has attracted a lot of interest, and EMKA S.A. plans to develop it further, increasing the number of UCOllectors in more locations across Poland.
