Abstract

Using waste vegetable oil for soap production represents a viable approach to prevent its detrimental release into water bodies and soil, thereby mitigating its adverse environmental effects. The artisanal soap-making process entails minimal investment and expertise, rendering it a straightforward procedure employing readily available inputs and equipment commonly found in everyday life. The principal objective of this study was to develop two bioproducts that address the environmental repercussions of improper disposal of waste vegetable oil, employing a perception and engagement survey of respondents. In conclusion, the derived products, synthesized from waste materials, effectively facilitated the removal of grease-based contaminants frequently encountered in workshops, automotive, and industrial settings, as well as in heavy cleaning applications, whether domestic or institutional.
