This project explores repurposing used cooking oil into scented candles, promoting waste reduction and sustainability. The process involves collecting and filtering used cooking oil, blending it with wax, and adding essential oils for fragrance. The mixture is then poured into molds to set. Initial results show that these candles have comparable burning times and scent dispersion to traditional ones. This method offers an eco-friendly solution to waste oil disposal and creates a value-added product. Future research will optimize purification and explore various scent combinations to enhance the market appeal of these sustainable candles.
