The Warrant has resulted from our work to create a “closed loop” solution for the Royal Household. Olleco supplies fresh, sustainable cooking oils and fats and reduces carbon miles by using the return journey to take back used cooking oils. These are then processed at our state-of-the art biorefinery to create premium biodiesel, a renewable fuel which reduces the carbon impact of road vehicles by up to 86%. 

Royal Warrants are awarded as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to members of the Royal Family for at least five years.

Olleco is a major resource management and sustainability company. Our new Royal Warrant comes shortly after us achieving second place at the Circulars awards at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos. Both of these honours reflect the pivotal role we play in bringing our customers into the circular economy, supporting their commitment to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.

Robert Behan, CEO of Olleco, said: "This is a huge honour and we are delighted and proud to be recognised for our service, helping the Royal Household to tackle climate change. If we are to achieve the UN’s goal of keeping global warming below 1.5°c, every household, community, organisation and nation in the world has to change the way they operate."

Olleco serves many of the UK’s leading food and hospitality brands from a network of 19 sites strategically located throughout United Kingdom and Ireland. As well as supplying fresh oils and fats and taking back used oils, we collect food waste, which is then converted to renewable energy and fed back into the national gas and electricity grids. Since our formation by ABP Food Group in 2006, we have helped thousands of UK businesses and organisations to embrace the circular economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of thousands of tonnes.
