We place great importance on performing to the highest possible standards. Sustainability is key to all of Olleco’s operations and we continue to be certified by the ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification scheme. This ensures that the used cooking oil we collect is used in the most environmentally beneficial way possible, namely the manufacture of biodiesel. ISCC certify Olleco’s biodiesel produced from used oils and fats and confirm that it has carbon emissions 89.9% lower than fossil diesel, which makes it an excellent fuel in the fight against climate change. #Certified #ISCC #Biofuel #Renewables

Did you know that in 1890, the diesel engine, which was able to run on various fuels including vegetable oils, was invented by Rudolf Diesel? 134 years later, on International Biodiesel Day, we celebrate the technology we use everyday to transform used cooking oil into biodiesel that delivers an 89% carbon saving compared to fossil diesel. Watch our video to learn more about this cutting-edge process. #DYK #Biodiesel #InternationalBiodieselDay #RenewableFuel

Happy National Cycle to Work Day! At Olleco, we’re proud to offer a cycle to work scheme. Even cycling to work once or twice a week will be beneficial in reducing your commuting carbon footprint, as well as improve your physical and mental health. ♻ If you were to cycle to work every day for a year, it would save roughly 2.75 tCO₂e which is equivalent to taking a car off the road for over half a year! #DYK #CycleToWorkDay #CommutingCarbonFootprint

We spoke to The Sunday Times to share how we are helping the food industry tackle the climate emergency, by finding uses for the used cooking oil and food waste it produces. The article also discusses the exciting times that lie ahead with the future use of used cooking oil as a feedstock for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, which may one day be made in the UK. At Olleco, we help food businesses become more sustainable and contribute to better energy security.
