This research explores the role of Sustainable Development Goals in addressing waste management issues, particularly within Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions that focus on culinary practices. These institutions often generate significant amounts of waste cooking oil, and improper management can lead to environmental pollution. By integrating effective waste management strategies into vocational education, we can cultivate green Technical Vocational Education and Training principles that enhance environmental awareness and reduce pollution. As the depletion of fossil fuels underscores the need for alternative energy sources, utilising readily available waste materials, such as waste cooking oil, becomes increasingly relevant. This study highlights the potential of waste cooking oil as a sustainable raw material for biodiesel production, supported by findings from both experimental research and literature reviews. Key characteristics, including spray angle, injection pressure, and oil viscosity, have been identified as critical indicators for assessing the recyclability of waste cooking oil. The results demonstrate that waste cooking oil can be effectively converted into valuable raw materials for the renewable energy sector and waste management. This research serves as an implementation of the green Technical Vocational Education and Training concept, contributing to sustainable development in an environmentally friendly manner. Ultimately, this approach can significantly reduce waste and promote sustainable energy practices, aligning with broader sustainability goals. © 2025, International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems SDEWES.
