FATOL
This is how European legislation designates rendered fat and fish oil from ABPs for oleochemical purposes, i.e. for production in industrial plants specializing in the processing of animal fats mainly for the chemical industry and biofuels.
Rendered animal fats and fish oils from animal by-products are essential in various industrial applications due to their versatility and high quality. Their production and processing are subject to strict EU regulations, which we at PEPITO naturally follow to the letter.
Mainly used in industries such as:
Biofuels | Rendered fats, especially those of lower quality, are used to make biodiesel and other biofuels. Animal fats and oils are an alternative source of energy and can be converted into environmentally friendly fuel. |

Chemical industry | Rendered fats and oils serve as raw materials for the production of detergents, lubricants, waxes and other chemical products, as well as traditional candles. Fats are also used in processes where a certain viscosity or chemical reactivity is required. |
