In the United States, the SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel has announced an agreement with the University of Oregon Athletics department to recycle used cooking oil from the concessions stands operated by the school.
The University of Oregon joins more than 7,000 Northwest organizations in working with SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel to recycle used cooking oil. SeQuential Pacific will use the recycled oil to make biofuel. The project seeks to create a closed-loop production cycle that yields an environment-friendly product while also benefiting the local economy.
SeQuential Pacific has also announced the production of its 20 millionth gallon of biofuel made from used cooking oil collected from local restaurants, businesses, hospitals and schools, a milestone in the company's 8 years of operation in Oregon and Washington.
