In the face of global climate change and rapidly dwindling resources, it has become clearer than ever before that each and every one of us must make a personal effort towards more environmentally friendly living and reducing our negative impact on the planet. We face a dark future unless each of us is willing to play a role in promoting positive change both in daily life and the way we do business.
The Filta Group understands the importance of reducing our negative impact on the planet through minimizing waste and using our resources more efficiently. Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions provides the means for restaurant owners to not only take a stronger stance environmentally, but to do so in a way that proves financially beneficial.
Less Waste
Every day restaurants and other commercial kitchens produce thousands of gallons of used cooking oil. Significant improvements have been made in the reuse and recycling of these waste oils, but there remains a continuing need to use less. Since 1996, FiltaFry filtering services has been making this a very real possibility.
FiltaFry uses an advanced micro-filtration system to purify used cooking oils. This process removes 99% of carbon and other particulate matter that can break down oils. This means that your oil will not only taste better, but will last twice as long. Depending on how heavily you use fryers in your establishment, having a Filta technician clean your oil and fryers once or twice a week could reduce your oil usage by 50%. Imagine the long-term effects, not only environmentally, but financially.
The FiltaCool cold-storage filter system can help reduce waste in your coolers as well.
