Used cooking oils can be refined into renewable fuels – a drop-in solution to replace fossil fuels – or used to produce raw material for polymers and chemicals, which can then be turned, for example, into more sustainable, bio-based plastics.

Waste and residues, such as used cooking oil, are an important means to help reduce our reliance on fossil resources. “For example, Neste’s renewable products help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 95%* over the life cycle of the product compared to similar products from fossil origins”, explains Hemery.
