UCO Collection
UCO Collection India: A Scheduled, Documented Pickup Network
Our UCO Collection India network brings hotels, restaurants, caterers and institutional kitchens into a scheduled, documented pickup system that turns everyday kitchen waste into a traceable renewable-fuel feedstock.
UCO Collection India refers to the organised pickup of used cooking oil from commercial kitchens for reuse as an industrial or renewable-fuel feedstock. Ranjit Oil Mills India operates a scheduled, documented UCO Collection India network across hotels, restaurants, caterers and institutional kitchens.
Building a collection network the right way
What a proper UCO collection network looks like
Every commercial kitchen generates used cooking oil, but without an organised collection system, that oil tends to end up handled inconsistently, sometimes responsibly, sometimes not. A well-run UCO Collection India network exists to bring order to that process, so oil moves through known, documented channels rather than informal ones.
Ranjit Oil Mills India's collection network is built around onboarding eligible HORECA generators, hotels, restaurants, cafés, caterers, institutional kitchens and cloud kitchens, into a scheduled pickup arrangement suited to each kitchen's volume and location. Larger properties with predictable, high-volume generation may be collected weekly, while smaller kitchens fit into less frequent routes.
Every pickup is logged, creating a documentation trail that supports both food-safety objectives and the traceability that biodiesel and SAF buyers increasingly ask for.

Step by step
Our collection & traceability process
The same eight steps apply to every kitchen we onboard into the network.
Onboarding
Identify eligible UCO generators and establish a collection relationship.
Collection
Schedule regular pickup based on generation volume and location.
Segregation
Keep UCO separate from general waste and unsuitable materials.
Storage
Use appropriate containers and handling practices to minimise contamination.
Documentation
Maintain records of collection quantities, source details and movement.
Aggregation
Consolidate UCO through controlled collection points and logistics.
Quality Check
Inspect incoming material and manage quality parameters required by buyers.
Traceability
Build a documented chain from source to final delivery.
Growing the network
Where our UCO collection network operates today
Our UCO Collection India footprint is currently centred on Pune and the surrounding Maharashtra region, where our own mill and logistics base give us the most direct oversight. From there, we are steadily extending collection routes to additional HORECA-dense areas as volumes and demand justify the expansion.
The long-term goal is a genuinely pan-India collection presence, one that can offer biodiesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel buyers a dependable, documented UCO supply regardless of which region their plant or refinery is located in.
Common questions
UCO collection — common questions
Pickup frequency is scheduled based on your generation volume and location, ranging from weekly for high-volume kitchens to less frequent routes for smaller operations.
Hotels, restaurants, cafés, caterers, institutional kitchens, cloud kitchens and food manufacturers can all typically join, provided they generate UCO on a regular basis.
We recommend appropriate, sealed containers to minimise contamination, and our team can advise on suitable storage as part of onboarding.
Collection records covering quantities, source details and movement are maintained as part of our traceability process, supporting your own documentation needs.
