About us
Auscol plays a critical role in the collection of source material for the production of reduced carbon emissions biodiesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel. As part of a Grain Corp end-to-end supply chain that sources and processes edible oils for use in food production and food service, Auscol closes the loop by upcycling the subsequent Used Cooking Oil. Providing equipment, transport and service solutions for that collection and upcycling, Auscol works with an extensive customer base across metropolitan, regional, and remote Australia. We supply storage tanks, operate a fleet of high-tech vacuum collection trucks, and maintain an unrivalled inland and portside processing and bulk storage network. And we do this to the highest international standards.
Auscol is compliant with International Standards of Quality Systems (ISO certification for Safety, Quality & Environment), International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) and Feed Safety accreditation (ARA). This gives our customers confidence that their used cooking oil is being managed responsibly and is joining the fight against climate change.
