Through
waste collectors, food manufacturers and re-cycling
agents we find the best outlets for waste cooking
oils UCO / reused restaurant oils RVO.
Our mission is to find a constant market for used
cooking oils, irrespective of it's quality (raw,
filtered, decanted or purified), in order to develop
permanent trade relations for producers and ensure
a good accomplishment of sales. At Greenea, we
understand the customers' standards for the animal
feed, pet food, soap, industrial chemicals, or
biodiesel industry as well the collector' requirements
(logistic, payment condition, traceability…).
We
work in relationship with used cooking oil collectors
to assist them to close transaction, improve their
technology and source new markets.
Used cooking oil is reclaimed,
renewed, and then returned to the marketplace
as a key feedstock for animal feed, bioenergy
and biodiesel, a great action for sustainability
!
Used
cooking oil market is strongly suppport by legislations
but is facing a lack of supply
| Strengths |
Weaknesses |
|
European
regulation supporting biodiesel production
from waste cooking oil
In
January 2009, Lower House of Parliament
of the Netherlands encourage the use of
more sustainable biofuels and allows double
counting of biofuels if the quantitative
obligations for biofuels are achieved. This
scheme applies to biofuels that are produced
from waste, residues and ligno-cellulose
materials.
In
1 April 2010, the UK Customs reviews the
duty rates for biodiesel, with the increase
in duty rates, allows producers of biodiesel
from waste cooking oil to off-set an allowance
of 20 ppl against duty that is payable.
In
April 2010, the French Senate and the National
Assembly modified a law that alters France's
customs code and introduces the double counting
of tallow and UCO-based biodiesel for the
7% biodiesel mandate.
Development
of biogas industry and decentralised small
cogeneration plants using vegetable oils
|
Little
increase in used cooking oil raisings in
the near future because :
•
moves
to better handling of cooking oils at retail
premises will increase the ‘service
life’ of
oil and therefore reduce the amount disposed
of ;
•
food
industry and fastfood restaurants are managing
their oils better and moving to lower oil
usage ; and
•
the
move to higher quality and higher cost oils
has created an economic driver for the food
factories to minimise their oil consumption.
|
| Opportunities |
Threats |
|
80%
of the households use a deep fryer, and only
less than 10% of their waste cooking oil is
collected in Europe.
Increase
of national regulation regarding waste management
where used cooking oil and fats collected
by an authorised collector who will take
them to an authorised site for recovery
or disposal.
|
Development
of deep fryer technology using less oil and
even without oil.
Increase
of the used cooking oil collection costs
mainly driven by logistic OPEX, and enhance
of collection at restaurants providing small
quantity.
