<upd_detl>I watch enough random Chinese youtube news that I actually knew this term. Anyway...

The recycled "waste oil" is very often cooking oil in the first place.  If you substitute "cooking oil" for "waste oil", you'll see why I tweaked the gloss. ("normal" cribbed from wikipedia)

I had believed that "waste oil" was strictly post-restaurant waste(i.e. 100% cooking oil), but I guess it can include industrial byproducts(waste) as well.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutter_oil
Reprocessing of used cooking oil is often very rudimentary; techniques include filtration, boiling, refining, and the removal of some adulterants.[30] It is then packaged and resold as a cheaper alternative to normal cooking oil.[31]
Another version of gutter oil uses discarded animal parts, animal fat and skins, internal organs, and expired or otherwise low-quality meat, which is then cooked in large vats to extract the oil.[32]</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I don't think the addition of "normal" makes much difference.</upd_detl>
