To most, Monday was Earth Day– unless you’re a Filta franchisee— in which case every day is Earth Day.

Since 1996, Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions has used science to the benefit of businesses and the environment by offering green solutions to common problems experienced by the hospitality industry.

Familiar with reducing, reusing and recycling? Filta’s three kitchen solutions are modeled along the same guidelines.

FiltaFry is an eco-friendly way for restaurants, food franchises and other establishments to manage, filter and reuse fry oil and shortening. Trained FiltaFry representatives micro-filter each fryer’s cooking oil, perform vacuum-based deep fryer cleaning services and calibrate each fryer for optimum performance. By doing so, each pound of cooking oil’s longevity increases and 99 percent of carbon is removed from the fryer. Consistently cleaned fryers also reduce the number of accidents and insurance claims amongst restaurants and food franchises.

Once the oil is no longer usable for cooking it’s purified through Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions’ FiltaBio service. The majority is sent to be made into biodiesel, the safe and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel fuel.

In addition to maintaining the quality of frying oil for restaurants and food franchises, Filta has devised a cost-effective and eco friendly solution to businesses that need to ensure moisture levels within their refrigeration units. FiltaCool’s air permeable packet absorbs excess humidity through a special blend of minerals.
