Biodiesel
Our used cooking oil never goes to waste, instead it’s converted into biodiesel at a state-of-the-art plant in Liverpool. This is then supplied directly for logistics fleets for food delivery and sold to fuel majors for use on UK forecourts. Since 2019 our oil has been converted into over 4158 tonnes of biodiesel (with an approximate carbon saving of 85%), which is amazing.

Heat Recovery
At our Scarborough site we’ve reduced our Energy usage by 20%. We achieved this by recovering and reusing the waste heat from our process. Such is the success, we’ve planned similar heat recovery projects over the next five years for our Whittlesey and Wombourne plants.
