Collection of Used Cooking Oil
Yellow Hat collects used tempura oil (used cooking oil).
Yellow Hat endorses a project to make new bioenergy by recycling used cooking oil* as part of our efforts toward the SDGs.
*We collect and refine used cooking oil, and recycle it as biofuel with the same quality as diesel oil. We then reuse it as recycled energy like solar and wind power.
・Effective use of resources : Fossil fuel use is reduced through renewable energy
・Reduction of used : No longer necessary to dispose of used cooking oil as household waste after solidifying it or absorbing it in newspaper as was done previously
・Global warming suppression : No increase in carbon dioxide as plant-derived fuel is recycled

We have set up dedicated collection boxes at the following locations to help with the collection of used cooking oil.

Collection Method
First, please pour the used cooking oil into its original container or used PET bottles (washed and dried). Next, tighten the cap tightly to prevent spills. Finally, place the containers or bottles in a dedicated collection box.
*Please use an oil strainer or similar device to remove the crunchy bits of fried batter left after cooking tempura and other food residue. *Please bring unused products past their expiration date in their original containers.
