How is cooking oil collected ?
Hundreds of used cooking oil collectors/suppliers, primarily from Europe and North Africa, are our main suppliers wherever cooking oils and fats are used. The collection of these oils is organized for recycling and reuse. Most of these suppliers are very small, as is typical in the used cooking oil sector. We draw on many small sources. Restaurants and factories store used cooking oil in tanks, which are emptied by collectors that collect used cooking oil from 55,000 restaurants, stadiums, hotels, McDonald’s, schools, and airports. It is then delivered to major distributors where filtration and quality control processes are carried out to ensure its compatibility with biodiesel production and renewable refining.
Preparing the used cooking oil for delivery/shipping.
Used cooking oil is first filtered and cleaned in pre-treatment units to remove impurities. It is then packaged and shipped to a refinery to be transformed into renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and other renewable products. At each of our sourcing sites, we have UCO-certified purchasing managers who are fully trained in the quality of these products. We also monitor our suppliers : we visit their facilities and inspect the finished product. We also perform additional checks during loading, including measuring the quality of the UCO to ensure it meets our customers’ specifications and is suitable for biodiesel production.
For each shipment, regardless of the size, a qualified independent expert issues a quality certificate, allowing us to guarantee the quality of the UCO shipped to our customers.
