Innovative circular economy: From French fry oil to renewable diesel
Hesburger and Neste, two renowned Finnish companies, have exemplified groundbreaking circular economy cooperation over the past two years, turning used French fry cooking oil into renewable diesel fuel. This initiative not only demonstrates responsible corporate behavior but also underscores a shift towards more sustainable business practices.
The fast-food chain Hesburger, known for its delicious French fries, produces about 420 tons of used cooking oil annually from its numerous outlets in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
