What happens to your used cooking oil?
All collected cooking oil is processed at our future-proof, energy-efficient recycling plant. The oil is filtered and transformed into UCO feedstock, a key ingredient for biodiesel (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Even frying residues are converted into biogas, a renewable fuel source.
These biofuels can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 87% compared to fossil fuels.
