Thailand looking to set up mini-biodiesel plants to get unsafe oil out of food

In Thailand, the director of a regional medical center is working with local authorities to set up small-scale biodiesel production in an attempt to deter used cooking oil from being bleached and re-sold back into the market. Apparently only about 20 million liters of cooking oil gets used for biodiesel production ever year, compared to the 1.2 million liters consumed. Bleached oil can have dangerous health impacts but so far biodiesel prices are too low to deter where the used cooking oil ends up.
