Energy from waste
Recycling management and sustainability
We specialize in ISCC-certified processes to ensure the highest standards in waste recycling and renewable energy production. Our waste-to-energy solutions turn used cooking oil (UCO) and other residues into BioDiesel, reducing carbon footprints and contributing to energy independence. We take pride in our environmentally sound and efficient recycling management systems.
The first step is the collection. Used cooking oil (UCO) is collected in special containers from restaurants, hotels and other catering and food businesses as well as private households.
We operate our own fleet. This means we can ensure that Münzer Bins containing used cooking oil (UCO) are exchanged on a regular basis. All we leave behind are clean, completely emptied containers and satisfied customers.
After being collected, the used cooking oil (UCO) is cleaned at our processing plant. This involves removing contaminants such as food residues or water in order to obtain high-quality raw material from it.
The purified used cooking oil (UCO) is turned into BioDiesel by the chemical processes of esterification and transesterification. In addition to BioDiesel, this also produces high-grade glycerine. The catalyst is utilised as a component in the fertiliser industry.
Our approach
We implement the recycling management every day. Our innovative approaches to resource utilisation, waste avoidance and reprocessing aid the circular economy in the long term. The processing of used cooking oil (UCO) into BioDiesel, in particular, demonstrates that used materials are not just waste, but materials that can be recycled into sustainable resources and raw materials.
Converting used cooking oil (UCO) into BioDiesel reduces CO₂ emissions by 55 to 93% compared to fossil diesel. Additionally disposing of used cooking oil (UCO) with us prevents used cooking oil (UCO) from polluting the environment.
