Fatboxx, from Peter Ridley Waste Systems, is a wheeled container, specially designed to separately collect a wide range of food-related materials, including used cooking fats, oil and grease; food waste from the catering or food processing sector; and animal by-products from meat rendering plants and slaughterhouses.

Fatboxx is said to contribute to the ‘circular economy’ by collecting used edible fats, oils and food waste separately that can then be used to produce various types of energy such as biodiesel or methane.
One customer already using Fatboxx is Colbeck, a collector of waste edible oil and fat in the fish and chip and food service sector. “80-85% of our customers are now using the Fatboxx, with more requesting the container every day,” explained Ross Murdoch, General Manager, Waste Edible Oil Division, Henry Colbeck.
