Did you know that used cooking oil has significant economic and environmental value? Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions has proven just that, recently celebrating a major milestone: recycling its 1 billionth pound of cooking oil into biodiesel fuel! This achievement highlights Filta’s commitment to sustainability and its innovative approach to kitchen waste management.
For over two decades, Filta has been a leader in the industry, transforming used cooking oil into a valuable resource. The Orlando-based company’s success is evident in its impressive revenue, generating over $28 million annually and exceeding $600 million since 2003.
Filta’s unique process involves on-site microfiltration, effectively performing “dialysis” for cooking oil. Their mobile filtration units use a three-stage process, combining suction and pressure to remove carbon and impurities, extending the life of the oil and reducing waste. This not only benefits the environment but also helps businesses save money and improve food quality.
Looking ahead, Filta has ambitious growth plans. The company aims to expand its operations fivefold over the next five years by developing 30 existing territories, increasing its fleet of mobile vans, and welcoming new franchisees. This expansion will further solidify Filta’s position as a leader in the cooking oil recycling industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Filta’s success story demonstrates the power of innovation and environmental consciousness. By turning what was once considered waste into a valuable resource, Filta is not only generating significant revenue but also making a positive impact on the planet.
