Coimbra startup creates detergent with used cooking oil
"EcoXperience, a startup formed in 2016 by a group of chemists from the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC), has just obtained 700 thousand euros in funding, within the scope of the Portugal 2020 community support framework, to develop ecological detergents from used cooking oils, states a note sent to the Lusa news agency.
The funds will be used to develop One-N-Done, a 100% “green” capsule that “converts used cooking oils, a highly polluting waste — one liter of oil contaminates up to one million liters of water — into different detergents (floor cleaner, window cleaner, soaps, dishwashing detergent, among others), practically automatically and at a low cost.”
