LEADER IN USED COOKING OIL MANAGEMENT
Our entrepreneurial spirit and vision for the future do not stop here. In 2009, Sunilens introduced an innovative waste management project – collection, storage, treatment and recycling of used cooking oils. We made a significant investment in developing the technology, equipment, logistics network and training of human resources to jump-start our eco-friendly business model for waste management. After acquiring all the necessary licenses, Sunilens became the first fully authorized waste carrier by the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning for managing used cooking oil in Macedonia.
Following the global trends for efficient utilization of waste as a source of renewable energy that stimulates green circular economy and cleaner environment, we have implemented a modern system for managing used cooking oils in accordance with the strictest EU standards. Today, Sunilens is the biggest waste management company for collection, storage and processing of used cooking oils in Macedonia. We have a highly developed collection network and work on implementing awareness initiatives for continuous education of every waste producer about the negative effects of improper disposal of used cooking oil. Our collection system is certified by ISCC EU based on the EU Renewable Energy Directive, which is a good quality indicator for the success of our waste management system.
In the last ten years, we have managed to collect and process more than 4.150 tons of used cooking oil from the food industry in Macedonia. With a country-wide collection network, modern system for treatment of used cooking oils and well-established export channels with the biofuels market in Austria, Sunilens has made a significant contribution to the development and promotion of green circular economy and eco-friendly values. These principles are stimulated by utilization of biomass as feedstock for producing renewable energy and increasing environmental protection. Our experience in used cooking oil management has broadened our vision to look for new ways and green technologies for using the energy potential of waste in order to contribute to sustainable environment and improved quality of life for citizens.
