Bangchak Group, Muang Thai Life Assurance join forces on UCO-to-SAF initiative
Bangchak Group announced Nov. 5 that it has joined forces with Muang Thai Life Assurance under the “Fry to Fly & No Refry” initiative to encourage employees, businesses and organizations in Muang Thai Life Assurance’s network to properly store and collect used cooking oil (UCO).
The collected oil will be supplied to Bangchak Group as feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
To facilitate collection, Bangchak Group is supporting the installation of “Ucollect Box,” an automated UCO purchasing and storage unit operated through an application.
Participating businesses and organizations also receive certificates confirming that their UCO is being used to produce SAF.
Bangchak Group employees together with Muang Thai Life Assurance employees also held a “Fry to Fly & No Refry” roadshow to raise awareness among restaurant operators, vendors and consumers about the health risks of repeatedly reusing cooking oil, appropriate oil use and proper management of used oil.
Businesses and members of the public at Muang Thai Phatra Market and the Muang Thai Phatra building complex were invited to sell their UCO and shown how to use the “Ucollect Box.”
