We are incredibly proud to share that Eco Clarity has been recognised with two awards at this year’s Stockport Business Awards. We took home Most Promising Young Business, sponsored by Stockport Council with Stockport Economic Alliance and The Innovation Award, sponsored by CN Financial Planners.

Both awards mark a huge milestone in our first year of operations in Stockport, recognising the progress we have made in creating a circular and sustainable solution for managing fats, oils, and grease (FOG) waste.

At Eco Clarity, our mission is to stop FOG pollution before it reaches sewers by recovering and recycling it into renewable energy. We work with all stakeholders from food producers, to waste hauliers, water companies and local authorities, to close the loop and turn waste into a resource that supports cleaner networks, carbon reduction and biofuel production.

Laura Su, who collected the awards on behalf of Eco Clarity, said:

“We are so incredibly proud to be recognised for not one, but two awards in our first year of operations in Stockport. These awards are a reflection of the hard work, belief and innovation across our whole team and partners. We are ready to make big environmental change right here from Stockport across Greater Manchester and the wider North West region.”

Our sincere thanks go to Stockport Council, Stockport Economic Alliance and CN Financial Planners for sponsoring these awards, and to the Stockport Business Awards team for hosting such an inspiring evening celebrating local business excellence.

We’re proud to base our team and innovation in Stockport, driving the future of sustainable FOG management across the region.

Measuring and repurposing FOG waste

by Eco Clarity | Mar 11, 2025

For too long, businesses have had limited visibility over what happens to their fat, oil and grease (FOG) waste once it leaves their site.

Traditional waste disposal routes often provide little to no data, making it difficult to track volumes, understand impact, or report on sustainability performance.

At Eco Clarity, we are changing that.

Our real-time, cloud-based tracking system provides businesses with full transparency on every load collected, offering:

Precise measurement of total waste and FOG
Detailed breakdown of waste composition
Traceable data for compliance and sustainability reporting

This level of traceability is unmatched in the industry. Businesses no longer have to guess where their waste is going or how it is being processed. Instead, they gain full oversight and control over their waste stream, ensuring compliance, operational efficiency and clear environmental reporting.

Beyond waste: Turning FOG into a valued resource

FOG waste has long been seen as a disposal challenge but holds significant untapped value. When properly collected and processed, it becomes a high-quality feedstock for biofuel production, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and contributing directly to the UK’s net-zero targets.

Through our process:

Every drop of FOG waste is measured, valued and repurposed into a useful resource rather than being simply disposed of.
Businesses can quantify and report their carbon savings, supporting their ESG and Scope 3 emissions targets.
Waste that would otherwise enter mixed waste streams or even anaerobic digestion (AD) is given greater value, improving its calorific content and impact.
Support a new, sustainable market for FOG waste, transforming homegrown waste into a feedstock that directly supports the UK’s renewable energy transition and 2030 net-zero goals.

A smarter, more accountable approach to waste management

By providing businesses with real-time data and complete transparency, we enable them to make informed, strategic decisions about their waste. No other known provider offers this level of insight into FOG waste disposal.

The result? A fully traceable, efficient, and high-value waste management solution that recovers even the smallest waste value and transforms it into something greater.

At Eco Clarity, we believe FOG should be a resource rather than an afterthought.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves at the Great Northern Conference 2024

The Great Northern Conference 2024, held on December 3rd in Hull, convened political leaders, businesses and academics to discuss the North’s economic development and environmental sustainability. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced new powers for regional mayors to stimulate economic growth and attract investment, emphasising the importance of local leadership in fostering innovation and addressing regional disparities.

A significant focus of the conference was the North’s role in achieving the UK’s net-zero targets. Panels explored how the region can contribute to making Britain a “clean energy superpower,” highlighting the Humber Freeport’s efforts in attracting over £1 billion in investments across sectors like advanced manufacturing and green technologies.

At Eco Clarity, we are committed to supporting these initiatives by providing comprehensive environmental services in the field of FOG waste recovery. Our expertise in sustainable development, renewable energy integration and environmental impact assessments can assist local authorities and businesses in implementing effective strategies to meet net-zero goals. By collaborating with stakeholders, we aim to drive innovation and promote sustainable economic growth across the North from our current locations in Hull and Stockport.

The conference highlighted the necessity of collaboration among government, industry and communities to build a greener, fairer future. Eco Clarity is dedicated to playing a part in this transformation, offering tailored solutions for recoverable fat, oils and grease waste that align with the North’s environmental and economic objectives.

Eco Clarity wins drainage innovation award

by Eco Clarity | Dec 3, 2024

Leading green technology company, Eco Clarity, has been recognised for its groundbreaking FOG (fat, oil and grease) management solution by scooping the prestigious innovation award at the National Drainage Awards in London.

Sustainable solution

The judges praised Eco Clarity’s breakthrough service and technology, which collects problematic FOG waste and converts it into a sustainable source of renewable energy.

Chris Clemes, founder and chief executive of Eco Clarity said, “This achievement not only highlights Eco Clarity’s commitment to revolutionising the industry but also recognises the excellent work that so many contractors carry out day in day, as well as the power of collaboration in bringing about much-needed change across the water sector and supply chain.”

Untreated FOG can be highly detrimental, causing blockages in sewerage networks, polluting the environment, and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Eco Clarity’s unique approach offers a perfect circular economy solution, benefiting stakeholders across industry, society and the environment.

Breakthrough innovation

The company’s breakthrough innovation comprises two core initiatives – a patented separation technology and a network of FOG Recovery Hubs accessible by liquid waste tankers. The system enables liquid FOG waste collected from commercial kitchens to be separated before it enters the wastewater system or reaches the environment, becoming problematic.

The cleaned water can be reused or safely returned to the effluent stream. The recovered, consolidated FOG becomes a raw material that can be used to produce biodiesel for vehicle fuel. The Hub’s efficient system uses just 25% of the energy typically used in similar processes, with temperatures never exceeding 60^oC.

Powerful partnerships

Eco Clarity has gone beyond best practice by developing collaborative initiatives across multiple partners and sectors, including water, waste, energy and hospitality. The company is liaising with the Environment Agency to speed up permitting of suitable sites for FOG Recovery Hubs.

The technology is being upgraded continually, with its effectiveness continuously monitored. It has been scaled to meet the requirements of different stakeholders. Its modular construction makes it easy to install onsite. Sensor technology is making it easy to quantify the FOG content of loads and keep customers informed for billing and to evidence green credentials.

The future of FOG

Long-standing challenges like FOG and fatbergs in sewers require not only innovative technologies, but innovative business models that work for all stakeholders. By fostering multiple partnerships, Eco Clarity’s FOG-to-fuel solution can be scaled-up and implemented nationally and internationally, promoting a more sustainable and efficient wastewater management system for the future.

“Our combination of an innovative separation technology and circular-economy model for resource capture and reuse is unique, but I firmly believe that we are on the right path, and through strong partnerships we can crack this widespread and costly challenge for once and for all,” added Clemes.

Eco Clarity envisions far-reaching applications for this technology. In the future, water companies could generate biodiesel from their own waste to power their fleets. Vehicles of all types could be fueled by biodiesel derived from domestic and commercial kitchen waste. Even individuals could contribute by bringing their used fat, oil and grease waste to convenient recycling banks for conversion into clean fuel.
