OMV Petrom, the largest energy company in South-Eastern Europe, will start collecting used cooking oil from household consumption in 40 OMV filling stations across Romania. Another ten OMV filling stations collecting used cooking will be added, once they receive the necessary permits to receive and collect used oil from the household consumers.

The oil collected in OMV filling stations will be taken over by a partner company and used for producing biodiesel.

Between May 1 and December 31, the customers who will bring at least two liters of used cooking oil to the 40 recycling points at the OMV filling stations will receive, in exchange, a coffee or a coffee voucher.

OMV Petrom is the largest integrated energy company in South-Eastern Europe. The group is present on the oil products retail market in Romania and neighboring countries through 793 filling stations, at the end of 2020, under two brands – OMV and Petrom.
