What Eco Clarity does
Eco Clarity (Eco-Clarity Ltd), founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bromley, UK, develops and operates patented, modular FOG (fats, oils and grease) Recovery Hub technology that intercepts grease trap waste at wastewater treatment sites and separates it into clean water, reusable solids, and concentrated FOG feedstock (up to 99.6% pure) for biodiesel production. The proprietary Eco-Ceptor separation unit operates below 60°C using 25% of the energy of comparable processes, processes approximately 10 tonnes of FOG-laden water in 10 minutes, and achieves 99.99% FOG reduction in discharged effluent. The technology is complemented by a real-time cloud-based tracking system that logs composition and volume data on every load for compliance and Scope 3/ESG reporting purposes.
The company operates a hub-and-spoke commercial model: hubs are deployed via direct strategic partnerships with UK water utilities (Yorkshire Water at Hull, United Utilities at Stockport, Southern Water) and at biodiesel off-taker sites (Argent Energy at Stanlow), with manufacturing carried out by Fabrinox in Paarl, South Africa. Eco Clarity generates revenue from waste-processing transaction fees charged to waste generators and hauliers, from sales of recovered FOG feedstock to biodiesel producers like Argent Energy, and from hub technology licensing to water utilities and waste management companies. Customer segments span food manufacturers, liquid waste carriers, wastewater treatment plants, food service establishments, private waste sites, and biofuel consumers; current named customers include Yorkshire Water, United Utilities, Southern Water, Argent Energy, Serious Waste Management, The Big Table Group (M62 Pilot), GreaseTech, Clearway Environmental, and Fabrinox. The company states a target of 20–30 hubs across the UK and Europe within three years.
Eco Clarity is founder-led under CEO Chris Clemes (with Laura Su as Head of Business Development and Chris Febrey as Operations Manager) and operates without disclosed external institutional funding. Its only markets with active operations are the UK (Hull, Stockport, Stanlow) and a prior pilot in the Netherlands; no headcount, revenue, or funding figures have been disclosed. Multiple industry awards (NADC Innovation of the Year 2024, SASSDA Sustainability 2024, Waste2Zero Best Closed Loop Project 2025, Stockport Business Awards 2025, EDIE finalist 2025) signal external validation of both the technology and the circular-economy positioning.

Eco Clarity product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Eco Clarity operates containerised, modular FOG Recovery Hubs deployed at wastewater treatment sites and private waste facilities. Using its patented Eco-Ceptor separation technology, each hub intercepts fats, oils and grease (FOG) from grease trap waste and separates it into clean water for discharge, reusable solids for biogas, and a high-purity FOG concentrate (up to 99.6%) sold as feedstock to biodiesel producers. A cloud-based tracking system provides load-level measurement and certified carbon data for Scope 3 and ESG reporting.
Product overview
Eco Clarity offers a portfolio of waste-to-energy products centred on its patented FOG Recovery Hub technology. The core offering consists of containerised, modular FOG Recovery Hubs that use Eco-Ceptor separation technology to process grease trap waste, converting problematic FOG into renewable biofuel feedstock while producing clean water for discharge. The system is supported by a real-time cloud-based tracking platform for waste monitoring and carbon reporting, complemented by a FOG CO₂ Estimator tool for sustainability planning. Eco Clarity's Proudly Sustainable Programme provides a community certification for businesses committed to responsible FOG recycling. The hubs are deployed at water utility sites and private waste locations, with expansion planned across the UK.

Eco Clarity competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- BIFFA: UK's largest specialist waste management company offering collection, recycling and treatment across multiple waste streams. Overlaps with Eco Clarity on commercial waste collection and FOG handling as part of a much broader portfolio.
- Veolia: Global environmental services group operating water, waste and energy services across the UK. Operates wastewater treatment plants that host Eco Clarity's hubs today and competes broadly in the same waste-to-resource category.
- FCC Environment: One of the UK's largest waste and recycling companies, operating across municipal, commercial and industrial waste streams. Comparable as a broad UK waste incumbent whose customer set overlaps Eco Clarity's haulier and water-utility segments.
- Greenergy: UK-leading biodiesel and renewable fuel supplier operating its own collection and processing infrastructure for waste oils. Comparable as a more established, vertically integrated player in waste-to-biodiesel feedstock supply.
- Suez: Global water and waste management group with UK recycling and recovery operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent in industrial waste services and water utility partnerships that Eco Clarity targets.
Direct peers
- Argent Energy: UK/Europe-based waste-to-biodiesel producer (owned by Swire) that operates refineries in Scotland, England and Netherlands. Both Eco Clarity's channel partner and a direct comparable in waste-oil-to-biodiesel, with Eco Clarity supplying concentrated FOG feedstock.
- Brocklesby Ltd: Long-established UK used cooking oil recycler that collects grease trap waste from hospitality and food manufacturers and processes it for biodiesel feedstock. Closely comparable operating model to Eco Clarity's haulier-plus-processing flow.
- Slicker Recycling: UK's largest independent collector and recycler of used cooking oil (UCO), operating collection services from food service and food manufacturing customers. Directly comparable to Eco Clarity in the FOG/UCO collection and recycling market, though Eco Clarity adds on-site separation into biodiesel-grade feedstock.
