Abstract

Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) refers to the residual oil or by-products resulting from food frying. Typically, Indonesians dispose of WCO into the environment. However, if appropriately managed, WCO can serve as a secondary raw material for non-food products, offering economic benefits. Kebon Kopi Village in Bogor Regency has initiated WCO collection programs. This study aims to estimate WCO generation in Kebon Kopi Village households and evaluate the economic benefits of WCO management. Quantitative descriptive methods, employing the SNI-19-3964-1994 approach, income analysis, and benefits transfer, were utilized. Findings revealed that, on average, households in Kebon Kopi Village produce 9,42 liters of WCO annually. The collective WCO generation by all households in the village amounts to an estimated 3.118,44 liters per year. The economic benefits derived from WCO management for households equate to IDR 2.024.853 per household per year. Overall, the direct economic benefits of used cooking oil management in Kebon Kopi Village appear modest due to the relatively small amount of WCO produced by each household.
