In this and the largest fast food restaurant chain in the Baltics and Finland Hesburger will launch a significant circular economy cooperation. Used frying oil from more than 300 Hesburger restaurants in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Finland will be processed to produce Neste My renewable diesel. This in turn Hesburger will use most of their vehicles in Finland by reducing their greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% * salcompared to the use of fossil diesel.
Hesburger vehicles that will start using In this renewable diesel, covers about 680,000 kilometers a year. Replacing fossil diesel with In this renewable diesel, the annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is comparable to the fact that 350 private cars would no longer be driving on Finnish roads in one year.
We reduce emissions by investing in plant protein products and energy efficiency, as well as by planning our deliveries efficiently. Recycling and the circular economy have also been important focal points in the development of our activities, and this cooperation between the circular economy and In this perfectly meets our goals. Every year, our restaurants in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland produce up to 420 tons of used cooking oil, which is collected and transported as ecologically as possible. In this use cooking oil and other organic waste and raw material residues to produce renewable diesel Hesburger trucks. As the used cooking oil is collected by cars that deliver goods to restaurants, the cooperation will not result in additional mileage.

Combating climate change requires close cooperation between companies. This circular economy cooperation with Hesburger is a concrete example of how cooperation can improve sustainability. At the same time, our climate action creates value for the consumers who visit Hesburger restaurants, as the cooking oil used to make their french fries can be used as a feedstock for renewable diesel to reduce transport emissions. In this way, we can give consumers the opportunity to make more responsible daily purchasing decisions in the Baltic region and Finland.

*) The methodology for calculating life cycle emissions and emission reductions complies with the European Union Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28 / EC).
Charged opinion
French fries are better than building new infrastructure and deception with CNG. When the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive changes the formula for this measure, it will soon be realized that other solutions that do not pollute the air on people’s noses can also be devised.
