To replace fossil diesel, biodiesel is produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils. improve environmental sustainability, can be using waste cooking oil (WCO). highlight to broad relevance this process, we analyzed sustainability WCO‐derived based on commercial industrial‐scale machinery and compared representative plant designs with productivities 5–30 t/day. The technical feasibility was in terms productivity, operating costs, power consumption, land footprint, machine delivery cost, number workers, diesel consumption. economic evaluated cost‐to‐profit ratio, cost profit per ton biodiesel, daily profit. quantified amounts WCO energy CO 2 emissions avoided remanufacturing. social (potential for human development) workers labor costs. required remanufacturing technology considered sufficiently mature proposed process minimizes amount sent landfill avoids use new resources producing thereby satisfying requirements, respectively. Although remanufactured more expensive produce than a range 3423–27,525 USD/day achievable. Significant prevented WCO, example, 7–23.1 Mt/year China 7.1–23.2 India. High technical, environmental, economic, indexes 0.99, 0.92, 0.98, respectively, were calculated, giving high overall index (SI) highlighting process. applicability results, analysis method could replicated local metrics tailor conclusions suit specific requirements certain city or country, considering additional limitations taxes, regulations, incentives.
