The Finnish Water Utilities Association took part in the campaign reminding us not to pour ham fat down the drain. Renewable diesel manufacturer Neste used the waste fat of 10,000 Finnish households' last Christmas hams to produce 40,000 litres of renewable diesel as part of a charity campaign. In partnership with the Chemical Industry Federation of Finland and other companies, Neste placed fat recycling containers all over Finland to encourage the recycling of ham fat. The company said the success of the campaign demonstrates how waste and residues can be used as a raw material for renewable fuels. In total, Neste produced € around $15,600 ( around $15,600 ) worth of diesel, the value of which it donated to poverty alleviation and well-being charities.
