What MBP Solutions does

MBP Solutions, founded in 1999 in Denmark as Modern By-products A/S and now headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland under the MBP Group Holding umbrella, is a private B2B by-product management and trading company. The firm connects producers of bio-based industrial by-products (oleochemicals, breweries, omega-3, fish meal, vegetable oil refining, animal rendering, food processing) with downstream buyers across biofuels/biodiesel/HVO, biogas/biomethane, animal feed, aquafeed, pet food, fertilisers, and technical/industrial applications. It handles roughly 350,000 metric tonnes per year across more than 500 distinct by-product streams in 50 countries, with at least 12 owned sites and 7 strategic storage hubs spanning Europe, North America, and Asia. Its core offering is not a software or hardware platform but accumulated application know-how, regulatory-compliance infrastructure, and a multi-jurisdiction logistics network.

The business model combines transactional trading margins (purchase-and-resale of by-product streams and used cooking oil) with longer-term managed-services contracts under the OMBP (Outsourced Management of By-products) programme, where MBP assumes end-to-end ownership of a producer's by-product streams — collection, storage, logistics, regulatory reporting, traceability, and downstream sales. Revenue streams include by-product trading, OMBP outsourcing, UCO collection and processing (free collection from Nordic food-service businesses with revenue captured on the back-end sale as biodiesel feedstock), waste/by-product collection across animal by-product categories 1–3, and laboratory testing via the Resource Labs joint venture. Commercial engagement is sales-led via local field teams and supplemented with channel partnerships (notably Botella AS in the Nordics) and event-driven demand generation at IFFO, Ecomondo, and sector-specific conferences.

The company monetises a deep regulatory moat: ISCC EU, REDcert-EU, GMP+, MSC CoC, MarinTrust CoC, ISO 9001/14001, RSB, HACCP, Planet Mark, EcoVadis Silver (88th percentile, 2025), and annual UN Global Compact Communication on Progress. Reported 2024 turnover is EUR 140 million; headcount is in the 101–250 band, with 33 nationalities represented and an 86% employee retention rate. The customer base is horizontal and includes named reference clients such as Lyckeby Amylex, Wiley Companies, and Epax Norway AS, with commercial partners spanning distributors (Botella), JV partners (Resource Labs), and acquired subsidiaries (Vesttec ApS, Rasmix Oy).

Revenue model

1. By-product Trading: MBP Solutions connects suppliers and buyers of bio-based by-products globally, facilitating transactions between producers who generate by-products and manufacturers who need them as raw materials. Revenue is generated through margins on the purchase and resale of by-product streams. The company handles logistics, compliance documentation, and market matching.
2. Outsourced Management of By-products (OMBP): A comprehensive, long-term managed services contract where MBP takes full ownership of a partner's by-product management — including collection, storage, logistics, regulatory compliance, reporting, and sales. Revenue derives from the value extracted from the by-product streams under a service fee or revenue-sharing arrangement, freeing the partner to focus on their core business.
3. Used Cooking Oil (UCO) Collection and Sales: MBP collects used cooking oil from restaurants and food service operations in Norway and Denmark (free of charge to the customer), processes and purifies it at company facilities, and repurposes it as feedstock for biodiesel or technical grease. Revenue is earned on the sale of processed UCO to biofuel producers and other buyers.
4. Waste & By-Product Collection Services: MBP provides collection and storage services for industrial waste and by-products (including Category 1, 2, and 3 animal by-products) across its 7 global storage sites. Services include quality control, processing, and onward sales to appropriate end markets. Revenue comes from service fees and product margin.

Core offering

MBP Solutions collects, trades, and provides outsourced management of bio-based by-products from industries such as oleochemicals, food processing, breweries, omega-3 and fish meal producers, redistributing them as raw materials to manufacturers of biofuels, biogas, animal feed, pet food, fertilisers, and technical/industrial applications. Through its OMBP programme the company takes end-to-end ownership of partners' by-product streams — collection, storage, logistics, compliance, sales, and reporting — across 50 countries with 7 global storage sites and 350,000 metric tonnes handled annually.

Product overview

MBP Solutions operates as a comprehensive by-product management company offering a portfolio of six product categories (Fertiliser & Soil Nutrient Ingredients, Biofuels/Bioliquids/Feedstocks, Biogas & Biomethane Substrates, Technical & Industrial Applications, Animal Feed Ingredients, and Pet Food Ingredients) supported by five core services (OMBP outsourcing, By-Product Trading, Waste Collection, Used Cooking Oil Collection, and Lab Analysis). The company transforms bio-based by-products from one industry into raw materials for another, following a circular economy hierarchy from human food to animal food to technical applications to biofuels to anaerobic digestion to soil improvement.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves11 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Darling Ingredients: Darling Ingredients is a global rendering and sustainable ingredients incumbent, operating across North America, Europe, and Asia with brands like Diamond Green Diesel and Sonac. Comparable to MBP as a much larger by-product specialist that buys animal/food by-products and sells into oleochemicals, biofuel, pet food, and feed end markets.
• Cargill Animal Nutrition: Cargill is a global animal nutrition and aquafeed giant that sources fish meal, fish oils, and alternative protein inputs. MBP trades fish meal and fish oils into similar pet food and aquafeed channels, making Cargill both a channel-partner competitor and an end-customer.

Direct peers

• Olleco: Olleco is the UK's leading collector of used cooking oil, supplying biodiesel producers and offering fresh oil and grease management services. Direct overlap with MBP's UCO collection service in Norway/Denmark via a similar free-pickup model and biodiesel feedstock positioning.
• SARIA International: SARIA is one of Europe's largest rendering and bio-based by-product specialists, collecting and processing animal by-products, used cooking oils, and food residues into proteins, fats, and renewable energy feedstocks. It is the closest direct peer to MBP's category 1/2/3 collection and trading business across Europe.
• Veravis: Veravis trades and valorises bio-based by-products in oleochemistry, feed, and biofuels, with a comparable trading + collection model across Europe. Direct niche competitor to MBP in glycerine, fatty acids, and fatty alcohol by-product streams.
• Sarval Bio-Industries (SARIA subsidiary): Sarval, part of the SARIA Group, collects and processes animal by-products and used cooking oil across multiple European countries, supplying rendering, pet food, and renewable diesel inputs. Highly comparable in services, certification stack, and end-market split.

Emerging players

• Sustainable Oils / BIONOR Innovation: BIONOR and similar Nordics-based oleochemical/biodiesel feedstock specialists trade glycerine, fatty acids, and bio-based residues. Comparable emerging player in the same Northwest European oleochemical and biofuel feedstock trading niche MBP operates in.

Regional players

• Biofuel Express / Varo Energy (feedstock side): Varo Energy operates refineries in Northwest Europe that consume UCO and waste-based feedstocks for biodiesel and renewable diesel production. Functions as a downstream buyer partner rather than a direct competitor, but operates regionally in the same Northwest European supply chain MBP serves.
