Neutral Fuels & McDonald's Australia launches biodiesel plant

Dubai-based company Neutral Fuels and McDonald’s Australia will jointly launch a new biodiesel processing facility in Dandenong, Victoria, located just outside of Melbourne. The joint venture will convert waste cooking oil into biodiesel to use as fuel for McDonald’s vehicle fleet across Victoria.
Louise Asher, the State Government of Victoria’s Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business, launched the site for the new biodiesel plant, together with representatives from McDonald’s Australia and Karl W. Feilder, CEO and Chairman of Neutral Fuels.
Neutral Fuels already has waste collection sites at 106 McDonald’s restaurants across Victoria and, the company plans to service the remaining 105 restaurants by early 2013. (December 18, 2012)
