Recóleo Vegetable Oil Collection & Recycling was founded in 2004 in Belo Horizonte, combining environmental care with income generation. Today we collect oil from homes, condos, schools and businesses across Brazil, treat it under lab control, and turn it into energy.
Every day, liters of cooking oil would go down the drain.
Recóleo collects it — from homes, schools and restaurants across Brazil.
Treats it with lab control, protecting springs and rivers.
And turns it into energy: biodiesel — and now aviation fuel (SAF).
