The tendency in the oil and fat industry in Europe as far as by‐products and spent material are concerned is to use and regenerate as much as possible for chemical‐technical purposes. Materials with a high thermal value which are not suitable or profitable for use in chemical‐technical products will in the future probably be utilized as a fuel in combination with fuel oil. By‐products and spent material that cannot be exploited in the manners outlined above will be deposited in dumps. Incineration is another possibility. However, the quantities of waste must be of a considerable magnitude if this method is not to be too expensive.
