What is the waste oil used
for?
Regency waste cooking oil is converted into Bio Diesel by a Welsh
bio diesel producer and our collection fleet operate on an 80% blend
and as Regency are committed to recycling, as well as the oil, all
containers are 100% recycled.
The waste tins are washed and bailed into blocks. All plastic
containers are granulated, washed and recycled.
 Bio diesel is a clean-burning
bio fuel produced from domestic renewable resources such as used
cooking oil, oil seed crops such as rapeseed, or unused vegetable
oil. It is bio-degradeable, non-toxic and carbon neutral and because
it has 80% lower emissions than mineral diesel, it dramatically
reduces pollution.
Bio diesel is the
fuel of the future because it is sustainable whether it’s made from
rapeseed oil or used cooking oils. With mineral oil due to dry up
in 30-40 years, (and
the harm that fossil fuel will do to the environment in that time!),
it seems that, without doubt, bio fuel is the way to go.
Bio Diesel Benefits:
The by-product from the transformation of used cooking oil to Bio
diesel is glycerin. This is a natural degreaser which can be used
for most cleaning applications. It is totally bio-degradable, so if
it is spilt down drains or on the garden micro-organisms will attack
and degrade it naturally, with no harmful effect.
We are now working on ways to refine the glycerin, removing
methanol, moisture and impurities and will be selling glycerin as a
biodegradable degreaser for the automotive and agricultural
industry.
