1 pointsRUCO (Repurpose Used Cooking Oil) initiative has been launched by which of the following ministries/ organizations?
Correct
-To mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on 2nd October as Rashtriya Swachhta Diwas, publicity vans were flagged off in Delhi, to generate awareness among the people about the OMCs’ initiative of converting Used Cooking Oil to Biodiesel. The publicity involves wide social media campaign to spread awareness and educate people about the ill effects of used cooking oil and ways to dispose it off for converting it to biodiesel.
-About RUCO: Launched by FSSAI. The initiative will enable collection and conversion of used cooking oil to biodiesel. FSSAI wants businesses using more than 100 litres of oil for frying, to maintain a stock register and ensure that RUCO is handed over to only registered collecting agencies.
-Potential and significance of the initiative: India has the potential to recover 220 crore litres of used cooking oil for the production of biodiesel by 2022 through a co-ordinated action. While biodiesel produced from used cooking oil is currently very small, but a robust ecosystem for conversion and collection is rapidly growing in India and will soon reach a sizable scale.Incorrect
