Eazy Grease expands UCO collection with acquisition of Green Nature Recycling

Used cooking oil (UCO) collection and recycling company Eazy Grease announced July 15 its acquisition of Green Nature Recycling, an established UCO collector serving the Mid-Atlantic restaurant market.

This strategic transaction marks Eazy Grease’s entry into the Northeast waste-management corridor, expanding operational capabilities beyond its Florida stronghold and, according to Eazy Grease, positioning the company as a major player in the nation’s renewable energy supply chain.

Through this acquisition, Eazy Grease gains immediate access to the Northeast market, now providing direct service capabilities across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware.

According to Eazy Grease, Green Nature Recycling’s established operations and extensive customer relationships provide it with a proven platform to serve the region’s dense restaurant and food-service network, which generates substantial volumes of waste cooking oil daily.

“This acquisition represents a transformative milestone in our national-expansion strategy, Green Nature Recycling’s strong tristate presence gives us immediate access to one of the country’s largest UCO markets,” said Artem Kamalov, Eazy Grease’s chief revenue officer. “We’re now positioned to serve customers across multiple regions while building the infrastructure that major biodiesel producers require for reliable feedstock supply. This geographic diversification strengthens our value proposition to both restaurant partners and renewable fuel manufacturers.”

According to the company, the Northeast expansion creates significant strategic value by establishing Eazy Grease as a multiregional UCO-collection provider with enhanced operational scale and market reach.

The company now operates across two of the nation’s most active renewable energy markets, creating operational synergies and economies of scale that appeal to institutional investors and strategic partners seeking consolidated supply-chain solutions in the growing biofuel sector, Eazy Grease stated.

The transaction builds on Eazy Grease’s aggressive merger and acquisition track record, including recent strategic acquisitions of DHT Grease Solutions, CleanFri, Daytona Biodiesel and Relentless Renewables.

This geographic diversification from regional Florida operations to a multiregional platform spanning the Eastern seaboard demonstrates the company’s scalable business model and management’s strategic vision for capturing market share in the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector.

With renewable diesel production capacity expanding nationwide and biodiesel consumption approaching record levels, UCO-collection companies serve as critical infrastructure connecting waste streams to renewable fuel production.

The U.S. renewable diesel market is projected to continue its robust growth trajectory, driven by federal and state renewable fuel standards, environmental regulations and increasing corporate-sustainability commitments.

Eazy Grease said its expanded multiregional network positions the company to serve major biodiesel producers requiring consistent, large-volume feedstock supply across multiple markets while reducing transportation costs and supply-chain complexity.

According to Eazy Grease, the acquisition significantly enhances the company’s competitive position in several key areas.

First, the expanded geographic footprint provides greater operational flexibility and risk diversification, reducing dependence on any single regional market.

Second, the increased scale creates operational efficiencies that improve cost competitiveness and service-delivery capabilities.

Third, the multiregional presence strengthens relationships with national restaurant chains and food-service companies that require consistent service across multiple markets.

Green Nature Recycling brings valuable assets to the combined organization, including established collection routes, processing facilities, customer relationships and operational expertise in the Northeast market.

“The company’s proven track record of reliable service delivery and regulatory compliance provides a solid foundation for Eazy Grease’s continued growth in the region,” Eazy Grease stated.

The UCO collection and recycling industry plays a crucial role in the circular economy, transforming waste products from restaurants and food-service establishments into valuable feedstock for renewable fuel production.

This process not only reduces environmental waste but also supports the production of cleaner-burning biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels that help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in the transportation sector.

Looking ahead, Eazy Grease said it plans to leverage its expanded platform to pursue additional strategic opportunities and continue building its national presence.

“The company’s proven ability to successfully integrate acquisitions while maintaining operational excellence positions it well for continued growth in the dynamic renewable energy market,” Eazy Grease stated.
