A new recycling initiative in Peterborough is to see people re-using waste cooking oil to produce electricity.

Peterborough Today has reported that waste cooking oil banks are to be installed in the area, with a view to recycle and purify the oil in order to generate electricity.

The scheme is the result of collaboration between Cambridgeshire county council, Donarbon Waste Management, Living Fuels and Anglian Water.

Adrian Venni, managing director of Living Fuels, explained: "Throwing away used cooking oil clogs up drains and sewers and it contains unused energy, which we cannot afford to waste. This initiative solves both problems at a stroke."

Elsewhere in the east of England, Living Fuels has supplied waste cooking oil collection tanks to Suffolk and Norfolk, the first county to partner with the company.

The waste cooking oil is converted into LF100, which is used by renewable energy groups to generate electricity.
