Grease Economy

The grease economy is the trade that moves used cooking oil, rendered fats, trap waste, and lubricating grease. One word covers several markets. A kitchen caddy, a rendering plant, a trap truck, and a bearing-grease tube do not share a price.

The post in this category is a market infographic. It is a picture of how those streams sit next to each other, not a forecast and not a daily quote. Figures on a drawing are labels for the picture. They are not an offer to buy or sell a load.

GREASE.ORG works in the kitchen and trap part of that economy: oil pickup and trap service. Open the infographic to see the map, then use the commodity categories when you need a definition of one grade.
