Hardcastle Restaurants, the master franchisee for McDonald's in the western and southern markets, is planning to recycle the used cooking oil and convert it into biodiesel for powering its refrigerated supply delivery trucks, a top company official said today.
 
The company is currently piloting the project in Mumbai, and is also looking at Bengaluru, said a PTI report. 
 
"We will soon bring all our 277 outlets under the recycling programme," Vikram Ogale, director, supply chain and quality assurance, Hardcastle Restaurants (HRPL), told reporters. 
 
Last year, Ogale the company started the pilot project with Unicon Biofuels and scaled it up to cover 85 restaurants so far in Mumbai converting over 35,000 litres every month into biodiesel, said the report.
 
Ogale reportedly claimed that, the biodiesel made from the used cooking oil is going to be a cleaner fuel with 75 per cent lower carbon emissions than diesel over its entire life cycle.

HRPL and Unicon Biofuels have been working for the past one year to convert used cooking oil to biodiesel as per the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Sandeep Chaturvedi, president of the Biodiesel Association of India, told PTI.
 
"The Biodiesel Association of India encourages all food companies to learn from this initiative and apply it to their business model," he added.
