What eco system xxi sl does

Eco System XXI, S.L. is a privately held Spanish waste management and biofuel feedstock company founded in 1999 and operating out of Laguna de Duero, Valladolid. The company specializes in the collection, transport, storage, conditioning, and treatment of used vegetable cooking oils (UCO) and food fats, channeling collected materials to biodiesel production plants. Through its Bio Grasas sub-brand, the company also recovers and commercializes animal fats (manteca, grasa, sebo) for industrial uses such as soaps, cosmetics, and animal feed, with international sales channels. Service infrastructure spans two port-based storage tank terminals (Vigo and Barcelona, via Relisa) with combined 10,000 metric tons of capacity, plus a headquarters and warehouse facility in Laguna de Duero.

The company serves two primary customer verticals: the hospitality and restaurant sector (hotels, restaurants, bars, catering), supplied with 50-liter approved drums and scheduled pickup services; and food manufacturing/industry (food processors with high-volume waste streams), supplied with 200L to 30,000L tanks, scheduled pickups, and monthly/quarterly/annual regulatory reports. Proprietary technical offerings include the F.E.S. (Fat Extraction System), a 400ml-capacity grease-extraction device designed to integrate with kitchen hood drain valves to facilitate hood cleaning. Operations are authorized under Spanish waste code LER 200125 and waste manager authorization CL 12/01, and the company holds ISCC EU-ISCC-Cert-IT204-16000740 for sustainability and traceability of UCO and Category 2 and 3 fats.

Revenue is generated through three streams: contracted service fees for UCO and food fat collection (containers, scheduled pickup, compliance documentation); biodiesel-related revenue from feedstock processing/transformation; and transaction-based revenue from the Bio Grasas animal fat commercialization business. The go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales across Castilla y León with a national logistics network, supplemented by a website-based contact channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available record.

Direct peers

• Olleco: UK and Ireland-based collector and recycler of used cooking oil serving hospitality and food manufacturers, with a comparable B2B service contract model. Closely matches ECO SYSTEM XXI's collection-first, multi-container-size, documentation-driven approach and routes feedstock into biodiesel.
• Argent Energy: UK-based producer of biodiesel and renewable diesel from waste oils, fats, and UCO. Directly comparable in the downstream transformation step and overlaps with ECO SYSTEM XXI's Bio Grasas animal-fats-to-biodiesel pathway.
• MBP Solutions: European collector and trader of used cooking oil, animal fats, and related by-products serving biodiesel and feed markets. Comparable to ECO SYSTEM XXI's UCO and animal fat aggregation model and ISCC-certified trader role.

Broad incumbents

• SARIA International: European leader in animal by-product collection and rendering into tallow, proteins, and fats for feed, oleochemical, and energy markets. Overlaps with ECO SYSTEM XXI's Bio Grasas animal fats division at much larger pan-European scale.
• Darling Ingredients: Global rendering company producing tallow, yellow grease, and other fats used in biodiesel and animal feed. Comparable to ECO SYSTEM XXI on the fats-to-biofuel and fats-to-feed pathway, with substantially broader geographic and product scope.
• Verbio: German biofuel producer of biodiesel, bioethanol, and biomethane from waste-based feedstocks. Comparable in the downstream waste-to-biodiesel transformation step, though at substantially larger industrial scale.
• Greenergy: UK-based biofuel supplier and distributor with waste-based biodiesel exposure. Overlaps with ECO SYSTEM XXI in waste-feedstock biodiesel off-take markets, but at a much larger distribution and trading scale.
• Repsol: Major Spanish energy company with a biofuels division including waste-based biodiesel and renewable fuels. As a vertically integrated fuel producer, Repsol is both a potential offtaker of and competitor to ECO SYSTEM XXI's biodiesel output within Spain.
• Cepsa: Spanish integrated energy company with second-generation biofuel production and a national logistics presence. Comparable as a downstream biodiesel counterparty and large-scale domestic energy competitor in the Spanish biofuel supply chain.

Regional players

• Biograsas (conceptual regional UCO collector): Other Spanish regional used cooking oil and food-fat collectors operating under similar LER 200125 authorizations at sub-national scale. They directly compete with ECO SYSTEM XXI in Castilla y Leon and adjacent regions for hospitality and food-industry contracts.
