How our waste oil collection works
At Quatra, we make oil disposal simple. Every collection includes Duty of Care Waste Notes, keeping you compliant with waste regulations.
Here's how it works:
- Schedule your free collection.
- Get paid for your used cooking oil – We offer the best price.
- Your used cooking oil is converted into renewable fuel.
What happens to your used cooking oil?
Once collected, your used cooking oil is processed in our future-proof, energy-efficient recycling plant. The oil is filtered and transformed into raw materials (UCO feedstock), which are the key ingredients for the production of:
- Biodiesel (HVO) – A cleaner alternative to diesel
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)– Supporting low-emission air travel
- Biogas – Frying residues repurposed into renewable energy
These biofuels can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 87% compared to fossil fuels.
