In Florida, Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions (Filta) announced a significant milestone: the recycling of 1 billion pounds of used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel. Filta’s unique service model enhances commercial kitchen operations by micro-filtering cooking oil, deep cleaning fryers, and offering bin-free waste oil collection, all while ensuring the waste oil is recycled into biodiesel fuel. The company’s dedication to sustainability is evident, as every gallon of biodiesel used prevents 16 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. This monumental effort over two decades has resulted in a total carbon dioxide offset equivalent to planting 135 million trees.
