What Is Fats & Oils Management?
Fats & oils management is the collection, treatment and recovery of waste fats and oils from food production and food service sites.
Put simply, it means getting your used oil and fat off site safely, at the right price, and into the best possible next use.
That might be biodiesel production rather than a costly disposal route.
For food manufacturers, this isn’t a side issue. Poor handling causes blockages, slows down production and drives up bills. Good handling does the opposite.
How Fats & Oils Management Works
We’ve built a straightforward process that fits around your site, not the other way round.
Here’s how it works.
Information Gathering and Oil Sampling
We start by getting to know your waste. We look at the volume, type and quality of your fats and oils.
We also carry out detailed oil sampling.
This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with.
It means we can set up the right solution from day one, with no guesswork.
Finding the Best Disposal Route
Next, we find the most efficient route for your waste. Fewer miles on the road means lower transport costs for you.
It also means fewer emissions. You save money and time, and you cut your carbon footprint in the same move.
Liaison, Oversight and Management
You shouldn’t have to chase collection crews. We act as the go-between for you and the collection teams.
Our dedicated team oversees the whole collection process. If something needs sorting, we sort it. You get on with running your business.
Getting More From Your Production
We don’t set things up and walk away. We keep looking for ways to recover more fats and oils from your production line.
More recovery means less waste and more revenue back in your pocket.
Ongoing Quality and Service Checks
Throughout your service, we carry out regular assessments. These checks make sure your service follows best practice and keeps improving over time.
Segregation: The Simple Way to Cut Costs
One of the biggest savings comes from keeping fats and oils apart from your other waste.
This is called segregation.
When fats and oils get mixed in with general waste, their value drops and disposal costs rise.
Kept separate, they’re worth more and cost less to deal with.
Segregation also shrinks your environmental footprint. It puts recovery and recycling first, so less ends up going to waste.
The Equipment We Use
The right kit makes a real difference. Depending on your site, we can provide:
- Bespoke tanks – built to fit your site and the amount of oil you produce
- Transportable oil tanks – handy for easy disposal off site
- Oil skimmers – used to remove fats and oils from water
We can handle both liquid and solid oil waste streams.
Whatever your process produces, we’ll find a way to get the most from it.
Bespoke Collections That Fit Your Schedule
No two sites are the same, so no two collection plans should be either.
We build collections around your working patterns.
That means reliable pickups with as little disruption as possible. No full tanks sitting around.
No collections turning up at the worst possible moment.
Nationwide Coverage Across the UK
Our head office is in Liverpool, but our services cover England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
You can find our office on Google Maps.
As an independent provider, we’re not tied to our own infrastructure.
We work with an extensive supplier network to get you the best service and price, wherever you are.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many businesses lose money on fats and oils without realising it. Watch out for these:
- Mixing oils with general waste – this lowers value and raises disposal costs
- Using the wrong storage – poor tanks lead to spills, mess and lost product
- Fixed collection schedules that don’t match output – you either pay for half-empty pickups or end up overflowing
- Never reviewing the service – what worked last year may not be the best deal today
