The Process

From Kitchen to Clean Energy

Our end-to-end supply chain handles everything — from Oil Bank stations and barangay hubs all the way to certified processors and export markets.

01

Collection & Pickup

Our franchise network and Oil Bank stations collect UCO from restaurants, condos, subdivisions, barangay hubs, and households across the Philippines.

02

Aggregation & Storage

Collected oil is transported to certified storage facilities and collection hubs for consolidation and quality assessment.

03

Quality Processing

Feedstocks are filtered, tested, and prepared to meet commercial and industrial-grade specifications for downstream buyers.

04

Trading & Distribution

Processed UCO is traded, exported, or distributed to biodiesel, biofuel, and industrial buyers locally and internationally.
