ALTEO and Shell jointly collect used cooking oil
An exemplary cooperation between companies committed to sustainability begins with ALTEO, Shell Hungary zRt. and with Biotrans Kft.’s nationwide residential used cooking oil collection program. By the end of 2022, anyone can put the cooking oil produced at home in a sealed container or PET bottle into the collection container that will be available at a total of 120 Shell filling stations. 100 percent biodiesel is made from used oil or fat for recycling.
ALTEO’s partner, Biotrans Kft., transports the filled collection containers to its own site, where the collected used oil is poured into larger containers. After the sedimentation process, it is transported to biofuel production plants, where biodiesel is made from it. This is added by fuel dealers to the fuel intended for motor vehicles, in a manner fixed by law and in a set ratio, in order to reduce traffic emissions.
“Operating with net zero emissions and taking steps towards a sustainable future are among the most important business goals for Shell, both globally and in Hungary. By collecting and recycling used cooking oil, we reduce the environmental impact together with our customers and promote the implementation of a circular economy”
– said Andrea Istenesné Solti, Shell Hungary zRt. its president.
“At ALTEO, we know that the circular economy is not only our future, but also our present. We are constantly looking for collaborative partners within and outside the industry, with whom we can work not only on joint, good business solutions, but also on initiatives that support a change of attitude.”
said the CEO of ALTEO.
