Olleco

Olleco is one of the UK’s most progressive circular economy companies, leading the way for the food and hospitality industries to embrace a more sustainable future. We have the global climate crisis front of mind in everything we do and we are deploying human ingenuity to create innovative technologies and dynamic systems that help our partners radically reduce their carbon footprint with the ultimate goal of achieving zero carbon operations. Employing over 1000 people, at over 19 sites strategically located throughout the UK and Ireland, Olleco services over 50,000 catering establishments. The waste oil Olleco collects is converted into biodiesel and the food waste collected is transformed into biomethane, electricity, heat and organic fertiliser. Olleco operates a network of depots, five used cooking oil processing plants, a biodiesel plant, a bulk liquid storage facility and three anaerobic digestion (AD) plants with support from a wider network of licensed AD facilities. As of April 2019 we were also awarded the Royal Warrant by Her Majesty The Queen for our service of delivering fresh oil to, and collecting used oil from, Royal Estates across the country. Olleco is the renewables arm of ABP Food Group.
