🪔 Everyone’s involved

Don’t throw your waste away! Done cooking but still have a huge batch of used oil? No need to stress about how to get rid of it. 

• Go to a UCOllection box near you and dump your UCO. LIQUID8 will process it and turn it into biofuel. 

From waste to $$$? Noovoleum operates on a profit-sharing model, so if you dispose of UCOs using the box, you’ll be able to receive instant credit.

• Their model is great for homeowners and small business owners who need the extra cash.

👓 What’s next for 2025? 

Noovoleum deployed 100 UCOllect Boxes in 2024. 

• This year? They’re planning to deploy 1K boxes in Indonesia and venture into three other Asian countries by the end of the year.
