Collection container for used cooking oil

From problem to solution

Used cooking oil still too often ends up in the environment or in the sewer system, with all the consequences that entails. That is why Rotech developed a sustainable and user-friendly collection point for household cooking oil. This cover for wheelie bins was designed and produced entirely in-house, from the first sketch to the last screw.

Developed from start to finish by Rotech

The design was conceived and refined by our in-house designer, who went through several iterations based on customer needs and our years of experience with rotational molding. The process began with technical drawings, followed by an EPS foam version—a scale model that helped us estimate what the final product would look like physically. This was followed by renders, mold development, and finally the production process in LLDPE.

Smart design, durable material

This housing consists of several parts:

The body
The doors
The inlet covers (upper hatches)

The whole is formed using three separate molds. Inside, a roll container sits loosely in the housing, securely locked with a lock. The entire system is anchored to the ground so that it remains firmly in place.

The LLDPE compound used has been specially selected: not only does it withstand extreme weather conditions, it is also easy to clean — a major advantage in the event of oil spills. EN

Easy to use for consumers

Thanks to the disposal hatches, you can only throw packaging of the correct size into the roll container. You don't even have to open the packaging: used cooking oil can be disposed of in its original packaging at the collection point. The housing also features clear visual communication, so that every user knows immediately what to do.

From waste to value

The collected oil is subsequently reprocessed into biofuels — a valuable, circular solution for an everyday waste product. In this way, Rotech contributes to a more sustainable world through smart designs and practical applications. EN
