Description

We offer a collection service for used cooking oil, which allows us to raise awareness among professionals about the need to exclude palm oil from their purchases.
We process the cooking oil locally, using energy-efficient methods, to produce biofuel for diesel engines and biofuel for boilers. We will soon begin transforming it into biodegradable lubricants. We
then distribute these products locally to municipalities, farmers, and forestry contractors.

Our commitment is rooted in the values of the Social and Solidarity Economy and in the logic of short supply chains, whose benefits we aim to demonstrate.

The local recycling of waste with high energy potential (which can replace fuel oil and be converted into biogas) or agronomic potential (which can be composted) prevents:

  • - air pollution and the costs associated with transporting this waste to large processing facilities,
  • - pollution associated with the importation and use of chemical soil amendments,

and enables:

  • - increased energy self-sufficiency for the region,
  • - the adoption of renewable energy without the need for prior infrastructure work,
  • - reducing pollution from diesel vehicles already in circulation and avoiding the financial and environmental costs of replacing them

 

RMF66 processes over 150 tons of UCO (used cooking oil) and animal fats per year and has seen its membership grow from 80 to over 750 in four years.

 Roule ma frite operates in other departments (see attached map)

 

PROJECT: The Pôle Mobilité Auto Solidaire is a community-based auto repair shop dedicated to developing an economic and socially responsible initiative.

The association will offer car rental, sales, and maintenance at affordable rates to beneficiaries, with the goal of promoting the professional and social integration of these vulnerable populations.
