August 2011
Convert2Green has secured a contract with Marriott to collect and turn waste cooking oil from its hotels in the UK, into carbon savings. The waste oil will be collected by Convert2Green, refined into bio-diesel at its plant in Cheshire and will be used to fuel 3663's trucks; Marriott's supply chain partner, to deliver food and supplies back to its estate.
The move comes as part of Marriott's wider sustainability objectives to reduce energy, waste, water and resource consumption, and to recycle and use greener, non-toxic materials in its supply chain.
"We have a clear goal to reduce energy consumption globally as a business by 25% by 2017 - these energy savings are part of our overall sustainability strategy," explains Chris Moore, senior procurement manager, Marriott.
Marriott produces large quantities of waste cooking oil per annum in the restaurants across its estate, which might otherwise go to landfill and may even cause environmental problems, but recycling it to high quality bio-fuel can help Marriott to reduce carbon emissions by up to 90%." |

| Convert2Green wins Environmental Company of the Year at the East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Enterprise Awards |
March 2011
Convert2Green has been awarded the prestigious Environmental Award in the East Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2011.
Convert2Green scooped the award in a hard fought category against blue chip companies such as Siemens to take the top prize.
The award recognised that Convert2Green is now one of the top biodiesel producers in the UK. In just four years the company has recycled over 13 million litres of waste cooking oil in to bio-fuels for road transport, heat and power – waste that would otherwise have gone to landfill, down the drain or for export abroad. This has saved over 25 million kg of CO2 on road transport alone.
In addition, Convert2Green provides its waste water to United Utilities to ‘supercharge’ its sewage treatment plant, increasing methane production by 15%, with the methane used to run the plant - a complete waste-to-energy cycle.
