Olleco

Olleco We work with the food industry - supplying premium cooking oils, collecting food waste and used cooking oil, converting it into renewable energy & biofuels.

Olleco’s vision is ‘100% resource recovery for the food industry’ and our story began more than 30 years ago when used cooking oil was collected and used in animal feed. When this was banned due to tighter regulations, a huge amount of used cooking oil ended up in landfill or was illegally poured into the country's drains. As a solution we looked at other ways to recover the value from this precio

us resource, so we started on a journey to collect both used cooking oil and food waste and convert them into renewable energy instead of merely throwing it away.

A quick message for our customers.

You may have received an email recently from The Institute of Customer Service inviting you to take part in a survey about Olleco. We've had a few questions about it, so we'd like to confirm that it's genuine.

We're working with The Institute of Customer Service and TLF Research to better understand what we're doing well and where we can improve.

If the survey has landed in your inbox, we'd really appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your thoughts. Every response helps us shape the way we support our customers in the future.

Thank you for your continued support and honest feedback. It really does make a difference.

It’s all in a day’s work.

The team at our Midlands East depot jumped into action yesterday morning when a flock of local sheep tried to make their way onto the site.

A special thank you to Sky, Liam, Warren, Hazel and Matt for taking it all in their stride and proving that no two days at Olleco are ever the same. A great example of teamwork and staying calm when the unexpected happens.

We're usually busy collecting used cooking oil and food waste, so this wasn't quite the kind of collection we had planned!

Second place - Shaun (OilSense)
Third place - Lee (Yorkshire depot)

From a pioneering engine to a lower-carbon fuel.

International Biodiesel Day marks the anniversary of Rudolf Diesel's engine demonstration on 10 August 1893, a breakthrough that helped shape modern engine technology.

More than a century later, biodiesel plays an important role in reducing emissions and making better use of resources.

At Olleco, we transform used cooking oil into biodiesel, giving it a second life as a renewable fuel that delivers an 89% carbon saving compared to fossil diesel.

Take a look at our video to see how used cooking oil completes the journey from kitchen waste to biodiesel.

With many schools closed for the summer holidays, we wanted to help you bring circular economy education into your home!

We've put together some eco-friendly activities to keep little ones entertained while helping them learn about the valuable resources we need to keep out of landfill and the simple changes we can all make to protect our planet.

🌱 Create recycled arts and crafts using materials from around the house
🌱 Start a food waste diary and discover ways to waste less
🌱 Build a mini compost bin and learn how nature recycles nutrients
🌱 Go on a nature walk and collect litter safely along the way
🌱 Try our circular economy activity to explore how resources can be reused and recycled
