We’re excited to share some remarkable news about Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions! As recently reported by Franchising Magazine USA, Filta has achieved a major milestone by recycling over one billion pounds of used cooking oil since entering the U.S. market in 2002. This incredible accomplishment underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation in commercial kitchens, and it’s a testament to the value we bring to businesses like yours.
Since we began franchising in the U.S., our dedication to providing eco-friendly solutions has also driven significant growth, reaching $600 million in revenue. This success allows us to continually invest in better services and expand our reach, ultimately benefiting more commercial kitchens with our sustainable practices.
What does this mean for your kitchen?
- A Greener Operation: By choosing Filta, you’re contributing to a more sustainable future. Every gallon of biodiesel produced from recycled cooking oil prevents 16 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. Our efforts over the past two decades are equivalent to planting 135 million trees in terms of carbon dioxide offset.
- Resource Conservation: Beyond carbon offsets, Filta’s services have saved nearly 1.3 million gallons of water, reduced pesticide use by over 2 million pounds, and conserved vast amounts of energy. These outcomes are crucial for a healthier planet.
- Efficient Kitchen Management: Our comprehensive approach includes micro-filtration, which extends the life of your cooking oil by removing impurities. This not only saves you money on oil purchases but also ensures that when the oil is discarded, it’s repurposed sustainably.
- Waste Reduction: Our bin-free waste oil collection prevents messy storage and potential leaks, ensuring 100% of collected oil is transported to biodiesel refineries.
- Comprehensive Solutions: Filta offers more than just fryer management. Our services include solutions for maintaining drains (FiltaDrain), dehumidifying cold storage (FiltaCool), and comprehensive kitchen cleaning (FiltaClean). These services help you maintain efficient and sustainable operations across your entire kitchen.
- Measurable Impact: We provide local environmental impact reports detailing the specific benefits of our services, allowing you to see and communicate your commitment to sustainability to your customers and stakeholders.
