Honduras scheme turning cooking oil into soap and dog food

  • The NGO Sustenta in Honduras collects used cooking oil from businesses and recycles it into soap and dog food as of 2025.
  • Sustenta started this project to address the environmental and health risks caused by improper disposal and reuse of cooking oil.
  • The collected oil undergoes purification and saponification in Comayagua, creating soap bars sold at 15 lempiras and dog food products.
  • Sustenta secured a contract with Walmart in May 2024 to ensure a steady supply of used oil, generating monthly revenues over 106,000 lempiras from soap sales.
  • This initiative supports a circular ecological system by reducing waste, creating green jobs, empowering youth, and gaining international recognition and funding.
