What is the standard turnaround time from ordering collection to receiving the goods?
Timely and safe transport is essential for maintaining the quality of raw materials, which is why we act quickly at PEPITO.
- One-time pickup: Our goal is to ensure the highest possible quality of fat. And because refrigerated fat is perishable, we arrange for pickup at your location as quickly as possible (within a few days).
- Regular pickups: These take place at pre-arranged intervals.

What are the packaging and labeling requirements for the raw materials being supplied?
We provide our own containers (big boxes), which we deliver on a “full-for-empty” exchange basis. We will deliver empty big boxes to you and pick up the full ones using our own transport. We also accept frozen fat on pallets. Containers transporting Category 3 animal by-products must be clearly and legibly marked with the words “Not intended for human consumption.” They must also bear the label Category 3 animal by-product. For more information, please visit the European Union website.
What documents do you require for deliveries?
A commercial document is required when transporting animal by-products. Specific documentation requirements for Category 3 animal by-products can be found on the European Union website. You must also provide a CMR and an invoice. We’d be happy to assist you with all of this.

What are the collection options? Does PEPITO offer its own transportation?
Throughout the EU, we coordinate shipping with trusted carriers to ensure that your products remain in optimal condition throughout their journey to us. If you prefer, you can deliver your materials using your own transport directly to our plant in Nymburk.
Is PEPITO interested only in regular deliveries, or in one-time deliveries as well?
Both. We offer both regular pickups and one-time collections, depending on the requirements and capabilities of individual suppliers. Naturally, we prefer long-term partnerships.
