The service will work in partnership with sister companies ReFood and ecoMotion to collect the cooking oil, which the company said will either be recycled or used in the production of “high-quality” biodiesel.

Oleo confirmed that this is a charged for service and costs depends on the volume being collected and the type of oil used. The company also said that used cooking oil has a value, which also depends on the volumes collected.

It added that invariably, the waste producer receives either a rebate or a free-of-charge collection service.

Oleo Recycling said that the collection service should keep cooking oil out of drains and sewers which will see “significant environmental and sustainability benefits”.

The UK will be the seventh country in the company’s network to receive the collection service.

‘Sustainable solution’

Andy Smith, UK chief executive officer at Saria said: “Every year in the UK, the hospitality sector creates more than 100,000 tonnes of used cooking oils and fats. With the risk of large fines for improper disposal, it is essential to partner with an experienced collection and recycling specialist.
