Used cooking oil is a so-called special handling waste whose improper handling causes severe environmental and social impacts. The Secretaria del Medio Ambiente of Mexico City reported that more than two million liters were collected during 2017. Used cooking oil requires differentiated treatment for final disposal or, better yet, to be valued through reverse supply chains. Its recovery implies its recycling and re-use. After a physicochemical process, it is incorporated as raw material for the production of biodiesel, soap, and animal food, among other products. In reverse chains, transport logistics operations are carried out necessary for their recovery. The empirical work presented was carried out in a company linking a used cooking oil supply chain. Elements of some logistics operations were analyzed by a company that values used cooking oil. The result of the analyses translates into the formulation of recommendations for the company. |
