Waste Oil Recycling & Environmental Benefits
Once collected, your used cooking oil is sent to certified biofuel processing facilities. There, it is transformed into biodiesel or used as a feedstock for other clean energy sources. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases reliance on fossil fuels, and helps support the UK’s net-zero carbon goals.
By working with us, your business contributes to the circular economy, turning waste into energy while improving your sustainability credentials.
Compliance and Legal Requirements
In the UK, commercial businesses are required by law to dispose of waste oils using a licensed waste carrier and retain documentation such as a Waste Transfer Note. Our service ensures compliance by providing all paperwork on-site and guiding you through safe storage and collection best practices.
Container and Packaging Recycling
We also recycle oil containers and packaging, including:
- Plastic jugs and drums
- Aluminium tins and food trays
- Cardboard packaging used for oil storage
These materials are processed in line with UK packaging waste regulations, helping your business reduce its environmental impact and meet sustainability goals.
