Chick-fil-A Endorses Clean Energy
Here is what Chick-fil-A is planning to do.
In an attempt to help produce “cleaner” energy across America, restaurant giant Chick-fil-A has just agreed to partner with another business to convert their used cooking oil into “cleaner-burning renewable transportation fuel.”
According to Fox, Chick-fil-A is partnering with Darling Ingredients Inc. to convert the cooking oil into transportation fuel.
DAR PRO Solutions which is owned by Darling Ingredients will will collect Chick-fil-A’s used cooking oil from restaurant locations in U.S. and Canada. After collection of the cooking oil DAR PRO will repurpose it in their “biosecure processing plant.”
“The majority of used cooking oil is recycled and used in the production of clean-burning biofuels,” the website explained.
Chick-fil-A’s vice president of corporate social responsibility, Rodney Bullard explained, “At Chick-fil-A, we are committed to caring – and that includes caring for others through our food and caring for our planet.”
“Our innovative partnership with DAR PRO Solutions helps us be responsible stewards of the resources at our restaurants and allows us to support the future of renewable transportation fuel – all while positively influencing the communities we serve,” Bullard added.
“We admire Chick-fil-A’s commitment to reducing food waste and are proud to be part of a solution that keeps food waste out of our landfills while delivering a renewable fuel that reduces GHG emissions,” Darling Ingredients Inc. said.
