WASTE-TO-FUEL CYCLE

• Waste vegetable oil (WVO) is collected at the source: restaurants, cafeterias, or any food provider.
• Collected WVO is taken to one of our facilities where it is processed into biodiesel feedstock, and then delivered to our network of world-class biodiesel production partners.
• Biodiesel is distributed for both commercial and residential use.
• Fill up on biodiesel for a cleaner-burning, renewable fuel.
• Be a part of the solution!

WVO TO BIODIESEL CONVERSION

First, waste vegetable oil is converted into yellow grease. Waste vegetable oil contains varying levels of contaminants, from solids to water. These contaminants must be removed before the oil can be converted into biodiesel.

Second, yellow grease is converted into Biodiesel. Through a chemical process known as transesterification, yellow grease reacts to produce biodiesel.
