The circular economy, also known as integrated resource management, is a top priority for the ecosystem with the goal of sustainable economic growth, environmental preservation, and pollution reduction as outlined in Vision 2030. By reducing consumption, avoiding waste, and recycling resources, waste can become a source of wealth instead of being a burden.
Since the launch of Vision 2030 in mid-2016, the Kingdom has been on a journey to achieve sustainability by preserving resources and the environment, securing water and food, and improving quality of life. This includes national strategies approved by the Council of Ministers, an integrated legislative and regulatory environment, and specialized systems and centers.
The Saudi Green Initiative aims to properly dispose of all types of waste as the current recycling rate in Saudi Arabia is only 5%. The National Center for Waste Management is working to increase recycling to make it an economic resource, contributing SAR 120 billion annually by 2035.
The Kingdom is not only implementing environmental technology and waste recycling, but also localizing industry and technology to increase economic value, diversify the economy, and create job opportunities for training and rehabilitation. The government, in partnership with the private sector, is working to raise the quality of life through the localization of treatment and recycling technologies and global partnerships for a clean economy.
Adopting a global approach, the Kingdom aims to reduce the cost of environmental and climate pollution, estimated at SAR 86 billion annually by the World Bank. The Kingdom is committed to promoting sustainable environmental development, protecting 30% of vegetation cover, recycling 94% of waste by 2035, and reaching zero carbon neutrality by 2060 while promoting clean energy and improving quality of life.
At Tafani, we are committed to help you producing sustainable and low-carbon fuels through the creation of eco-friendly biodiesel. By partnering with us, you can play a role in shaping a greener future.
We assist restaurants and food service businesses in reducing their carbon footprint by collecting used cooking oil and transforming it into valuable resources through biodiesel production. Our collected oil is processed and sent to recycling centers for biodiesel production, ensuring maximum sustainability.
Biodiesel is a type of biofuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats that can be used in all types of engines with equal efficiency as petroleum diesel. It is an economical and environmentally friendly fuel that can be produced in any country. Many nations have adopted biodiesel as a source of energy production, providing refueling stations for its use. Studies show that biodiesel maintains engine health due to its high viscosity, making it a reliable fuel option for diesel engines.
Used cooking oil, including sunflower, corn, canola, olive, palm, rapeseed, and soybean oils, or animal fats, are commonly used in cooking or frying to prepare food in restaurants or homes. But did you know that these oils have a range of practical applications beyond just cooking? They can be used to make soap and animal feed, and even remove paint or lubricants in household appliances.
Once collected, the used cooking oil is brought to processing centers where it is filtered twice to remove any food particles. Then, it is sent to biofuel refineries to be transformed into environmentally friendly fuel.
The used cooking oil undergoes a series of processes, including cleaning and blending with other raw materials, to produce biofuel. The final product will not smell like used cooking oil, as it undergoes a transformation during the production process.
Our company tests the used cooking oil to ensure quality, before converting it into biodiesel or renewable diesel. The conversion process uses a mixture of alcohol and a catalyst for biodiesel or high-temperature fusion with hydrogen and a catalyst for renewable diesel.
While used cooking oil is more expensive than fresh cooking oil, the increased demand for biofuels and the need for recycling and processing make it a valuable resource for creating environmentally friendly fuels.
Join us in our mission to reduce waste and promote sustainability through biofuel production.
