Convert2Green and 3663 have secured a contract with TGI Friday's to turn waste cooking oil from around 50 restaurants in the UK into carbon saving fuel.
AlIyson Scott, head of supply chain at TGI Friday's explains that the waste oil will be collected by Convert2Green, refined into bio-diesel at the firm's plant in Cheshire and then used to fuel trucks from 3663 – TGI Friday's supply chain partner – to deliver food to its restaurants.
"Converting our used cooking oil to bio-diesel to fuel the trucks is part of TGI Friday's wider social responsibility charter – its one of many ways we're working to meet our ambitious targets," comments Scott.
"We have clear goals to reach in terms of recycling and energy savings – our aim is to totally eradicate all landfill by 2012 and reduce our energy consumption by 15% by the same date," she continues – adding that the company is on track to meet both targets.
