We have been approached by Sonnentor Penang,
which is part of the Singapore based Real Food group,
to recycle the organic Sunflower and Sesame Seed oils used in their cooking.
These guys are passionate about creating
good, ethical and healthy food, and therefore it makes sense that they care
about what happens to waste products, including their cooking oil.
The challenge then is for Indochine
Natural’s co-founder, Dr. Mike Thair, to develop a liquid cleaning
product using their organic cooking oil waste. First step will be a
determination of the saponification value of this mixed organic oil, then to calculate a liquid soap making recipe, and
run some tests to see if the recipe works. Test batches will then be produced,
and these will be put through their paces in the restaurant to determine cleaning effectiveness and ensure that staff are happy with the results.
If all works out ok, then we can start producing a liquid
cleaning product from their waste organic cooking oil. This is a very nice and sustainable solution for a waste product, and producing what is truly a boutique cleaning solution.
