Bunge Ltd (NYSE: BG) and Olleco, the renewables division for ABP Food Group, agree to form a 50/50 joint venture to create a business that encompasses the full life-cycle of edible oils.
The joint venture is expected to work with foodservice and food manufacturing customers in Europe, excluding U.K. and Ireland.
The JV will supply oils and ensure the used cooking oil (UCO) is efficiently collected and used as a feedstock in producing renewable fuels.
The partnership, headquartered in Amsterdam, is expected to leverage Bunge's customer relationships, footprint and expertise in vegetable oil production and Olleco's model in the supply, collection and conversion of cooking oils.
