Fats the way to do it
The UK's biggest independent supplier to the fish and chip industry is aiming to slash the costs of fuelling its fleet of vehicles by making its own biodiesel from used cooking oils.
Henry Colbeck’s new onsite biodiesel-processing facility has begun recycling waste oils collected from shops across Scotland and the North of England.
Based in Gateshead, the company's 32 vehicles use ½ million litres of fuel every year and the £100,000 investment in its own processing unit will see the company return to its roots.
Set up in 1893, Henry Colbeck originally supplied paraffin and fuel, before moving into the supply of edible oils.
