ReFood Germany has started the initiative “Mit Altfetten die Umwelt retten” [Save the environment with used fats] to collect used cooking oils and fats from private households and use them to produce environmentally friendly energy such as green electricity, biogas and biodiesel.

How it works

Private households can collect their used frying fats and cooking oils in sealable containers and hand them in at no charge to the initiative’s partners, such as participating supermarkets or recycling centers. Collected are cooking oils and fats that accumulate in the kitchen daily. These include deep-frying and frying fats, oils from marinated foods or expired oil-containing goods such as margarine or butter. Household plastic containers such as empty yogurt buckets and detergent bottles or oil bottles are suitable for collection. These containers can be deposited free of charge in the appropriate garbage cans at all participating supermarkets and recycling centers. In ReFood’s modern recycling facilities, these materials are then processed and used in biogas plants to produce electricity or further processed to generate biodiesel.

Win-win situation for society

Since many people disposed their used cooking oils and fats down the sink, this recycling initiative not only makes valuable resources usable, but it can also significantly reduce the burden on pipelines and sewage systems. A total win-win situation for our society as a whole: more resource conservation, more sustainability and more green energy, and at the same time fewer clogged pipes and polluted wastewater.

eFood Poland has been building relationships with the local community of Mszczonów since the first days after opening the new plant.

As a new member of the community of Mszczonów and the entire district, we want to show that our mission is not only to run a business that promotes environmental protection, but also to honor and support those who work with tireless enthusiasm to protect the health and the environment in our society.

That’s why we decided to support local firefighting units by sponsoring prizes for the firefighting sports competition that took place in mid-September. In this way, we express our support for those who serve the community with passion every day, often putting their health at risk.

We strongly believe that our support for firefighters is only the beginning of ReFood’s presence in this inspiring community and in building mutual good relations. In addition to business activities, we also focus on building relationships to be a good neighbor and work with the local community to create a better future together.

In June, ReFood’s QHSE managers from Spain, France and Poland worked together with ReFood’s logistics team, Organics2Power’s Sustainability Manager and ReFood’s management team at SARIA’s office in Granollers (Barcelona) to develop a common strategy and standards.

This event was of great importance for our organization, as it brought together so many people from different countries to work towards a common goal. The main objective was to define and standardize ReFood’s QHSE strategy in France, Spain and Poland. We are aware that quality, health and safety are fundamental aspects of our industry, and we are committed to ensuring that the highest standards are maintained in our operations. With this meeting, we seek to further strengthen our strategy and effectively address the challenges and opportunities in the areas of quality, health and safety.

In addition, the meeting aimed to promote the exchange of experiences and best practices between countries. Each country  faces specific challenges related to QHSE, and by sharing knowledge and experiences, we can enrich our perspective and find innovative solutions. We strongly believe in collaboration and mutual learning, and this meeting was an invaluable opportunity to foster this exchange.
