Mission

To provide awareness of the benefits and opportunities available through recycling waste cooking oil into viable, environmentally friendly product used within the local economy.

Intent

To inform the community of Greensboro by targeting local producers of waste cooking oil. We will provide information on "Patriot Biodiesel", the triads only commercial bio-refinery, and facilitate the partnership. In addition, we will host an information session at UNCG to provide awareness regarding the importance of responsibly recycling local waste oil.
This is great information! Let's all work to encourage the recycling of cooking oil. Hopefully this will start with restaurants, and eventually work up to household recycling in the future. I do want to clarify that Patriot Biodiesel is Greensboro's only biodiesel refiner that is collecting oil locally, refining it and then selling it to be used locally as biodiesel, a cleaner, more sustainable fuel. This makes for a smaller carbon footprint, and helps our local economy. There are other refiners in the triad and doing a good job, but that adds to the carbon footprint by requiring the transport of the oil and/or the biodiesel. Let's keep it local!
