Cooking oil turned into snack packaging in Australia-first trial

Cooking oil turned into snack packaging in Australia-first trial. Hundreds of litres of used cooking oil is disposed of every year as a by-product of making some of Australia's favourite snacks, like chips — but one company is trialling a method to reduce waste.

I'm annoyed by "disposed of" because it implies they're just pouring it into the ocean or something, when in fact used cooking oil is a valuable commodity worth hundreds of dollars per tonne.
