Cooking Oil Recycling in the US - Industry Market Research Report


Cooking Oil Recycling in the US

Cooking oil recycling companies have been challenged over the five years to 2023 despite increased demand over the past decade. As biodiesel production has continued to expand, demand for used cooking oil has followed suit. While most biodiesel fuel is manufactured with virgin vegetable oil, used cooking oil can also be used to produce biodiesel after it has been filtered to remove food and other contaminants. However, demand for recycled oil has been undercut by affordable substitutes that are simply easier to source and transport in an environment riddled with supply chain issues. Despite also being used as an input in soap, cosmetics and animal food manufacturing, the availability of substitutes and small size of these markets has brought on decline. Overall, industry-wide revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 3.2% over the past five years and is expected to total $1.6 billion in 2023, when revenue will drop by an estimated 5.9%.

Companies in this industry collect cooking oil (yellow and brown grease) from restaurants and other food service businesses for sale to downstream markets that process this grease into biodiesel, animal feed and other products. Industry operators also process and refine the used cooking oil they collect prior to selling it to downstream markets.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
