More businesses join the Sequential biodiesel cause

Sequential Pacific Biodiesel (SPB) has signed up several new partners to increase levels of used cooking oil used into creating biodiesel.

The organisations are the University of Washington, Taco Time, CenturyLink Field, Safeco Field and Pike Place Market and a closed loop production cycle has been constructed.

‘Cooking oil that isn’t recycled into biodiesel often gets dumped into the sewer system, causing unnecessary and expensive damage, or exported overseas and processed into animal feed or cosmetics,’ says Gavin Carpenter, SPB sales director of sales. ‘Recycling that oil into locally-made biodiesel not only creates a lower carbon fuel, but it also closes the economic loop, keeping consumers’ dollars in the local region.’

SPB recycled enough oil from Washington businesses in 2012 to produce 1,481,507 gallons of biodiesel and offset more than 10 million pounds of carbon.
