Product Overview
Used cooking oil is a valuable, sustainable feedstock for biodiesel (FAME and HVO) because it diverts waste oil from disposal and lowers lifecycle carbon versus virgin oils. Our UCO is collected through a controlled supply chain, coarse- and fine-filtered, and settled to reduce solids and water. We prepare each lot to the buyer’s contract specification for FFA, moisture, impurities and unsaponifiable matter.
Documentation to support sustainability and traceability schemes can be provided where required. We ship spot and contract volumes in flexitanks or IBCs.

Applications
UCO is trans-esterified into biodiesel (FAME) and processed into renewable diesel (HVO) and sustainable jet fuel, and is also used as an oleochemical feedstock for soaps, lubricants and industrial fatty acids. It supports low-carbon fuel programmes worldwide.
Packaging & Loading
UCO is supplied in 20 – 24 MT flexitanks inside 20ft containers, or in IBC totes and steel drums for smaller lots. Each consignment is sampled before loading, and net weights are confirmed on the proforma invoice.
Quality & Compliance
Every lot is filtered, settled and tested for FFA, moisture and impurities against the agreed specification, with a certificate of analysis provided. Independent inspection and traceability documentation can be arranged on request.
Export Markets
We export used cooking oil to biodiesel and oleochemical producers in Europe, Asia and the UAE through Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, handling trial and recurring contract volumes.
Sourcing & Quality Assurance
Behind every shipment is a sourcing network built over years of working with farmers, cooperatives and processors across the region. We select each lot for condition and consistency, then clean, grade and condition it to the standard your market expects. Because we follow the crop from field to port, we can hold quality steady across repeat orders and give buyers the confidence to plan their own production with certainty.
Food safety and traceability sit at the centre of how we operate. Consignments are prepared under hygienic conditions, tested against the agreed specification, and documented with a certificate of analysis and certificate of origin. Where a destination requires extra paperwork — phytosanitary certificates, fumigation records or health certificates — we arrange it as part of the order so clearance at the other end is smooth.
Logistics & Long-Term Partnership
Reliable delivery is what turns a first order into a lasting relationship. We coordinate packing, container loading and shipment from the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and keep you updated at each milestone so there are no surprises. Whether you need a single trial container of Used Cooking Oil (Biodiesel) or a scheduled monthly programme, our team structures pricing, payment and delivery around the way your business actually runs.
