About Us
Our story
Who We Are
Scope Oils was founded in 2009 by John Williamson in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The company is one of the leaders in used cooking oil collections and recycling in South Africa.
We help spread the word to educate people about ways to manage waste cooking oil and about the benefits of using biodiesel instead of normal fossil fuels. We actively promote recycling waste products and the dangers of landfill sites.
Since 2009, we have played a vital part in recycling thousands of liters of used cooking oil into biodiesel and other industrial products and made a significant contribution to lessen carbon emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. We also expanded to additional waste/residue products and services as well as new oil (fresh cooking oil) to the used cooking oil collections.
Values
Our core values are to offer a professional and efficient service to our clients while always offering the best current market-related prices.
Mission
Our mission is zero to landfill for all, and a reduced carbon footprint. We do it for our children! For a clean and healthy earth.
Vision
Our vision is to have everyone safely dispose of their used cooking oil for the reuse thereof in environmentally safe industrial products.
