Our Solutions for Your Business
We provide a wide range of professional services - from selecting and installing specialized equipment to safely recycling waste. All processes comply with Latvian and EU standards, with official reports and licenses provided to ensure your business meets all regulatory requirements.
Grease traps
A grease trap is a device that separates fats and oils, preventing them from entering your drainage system.
Our grease trap service includes:
Tailored solution for your facility. We define the most suitable cooperation model for your kitchen or production site: equipment, installation, tank exchange schedule, waste removal, and compliance documentation are all agreed in the service contract.
Equipment Selection. We recommend the best solution for your business — from compact restaurant grease traps under the sink to large commercial grease interceptors for food production facilities.
Installation. Depending on the selected model, installation may take from one to seven days, with full compliance with hygiene and safety standards.
Smart Maintenance. We don’t clean the grease trap in your kitchen. Instead, based on a custom schedule, we deliver a pristine, sanitized unit, swap it for your full one, and take the waste to a specialized disposal facility. No mess, no odors, and zero kitchen downtime.
Documentation. Clients receive official electronic reports confirming proper disposal and compliance with regulations.
Used cooking oil recycling
Collected cooking oil is sent to licensed recycling facilities, where it is converted into biofuel and biogas. This process reduces negative environmental impact and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Your business not only overcomes waste disposal challenges but also enhances its reputation as an environmentally responsible partner.
What we provide:
Collection and Transportation of Used Fryer Oil. We pick up oil directly from your kitchen, warehouse, or production facility.
Recycling and Disposal. The oil is processed into biofuel or biogas at certified facilities.
Inspection Reports. We supply official electronic documents confirming proper restaurant grease disposal and compliance with international standards.
Food waste disposal
Every food service business faces the challenge of expired products and food leftovers. Disposing of them with general waste is prohibited and may result in fines.
Our services include:
Disposal of Expired Products. We collect expired goods and dispose of them at licensed facilities.
Food Waste Recycling. We ensure secondary use through processing, such as biogas production.
Full Documentation. Clients receive electronic reports confirming proper disposal of food waste.
Grease Trap — Protecting Your Kitchen Plumbing and the Environment
A restaurant grease trap, also known as a kitchen grease separator, is a crucial device for food production facilities, restaurants, cafés, and even private kitchens. Installed under the sink or in another suitable location, it separates fats and oils from wastewater: clean water flows into the sewer, while grease collects in the tank.
Without a grease interceptor, fats and oils solidify inside pipes, causing blockages and eventually damaging the entire drainage system. In Latvia, water utility companies and sanitary authorities regularly inspect food service establishments, and improper disposal of restaurant grease into the sewer can result in significant fines.

How Our Process Works
Consultation and site visit
Our specialist visits your kitchen to assess drain points, wastewater volume, and cooking specifics (such as fryer usage). Based on this information, we recommend the most suitable grease trap or automatic grease interceptor.
Equipment selection
We provide tailored solutions — from compact restaurant grease traps under the sink for cafés and bars, to larger grease interceptors for hotels, food courts, and industrial kitchens.
Agreement and Confirmation
We coordinate the tank exchange schedule, installation terms, service conditions, and waste disposal process, then confirm all details in a service agreement.
Installation
Depending on the selected model, installation can take from one day to a week. All work is done professionally to prevent leaks, odours, and hygiene violations.
Regular grease trap cleaning
We design an individual service plan — from once a week to once a month, depending on kitchen load. Strictly on schedule, we swap your full grease trap for a fresh, sanitized unit. For your convenience, we also offer night and weekend exchanges by prior arrangement.
Grease removal and recycling
Collected fats and restaurant grease are processed at licensed recycling facilities. Waste is converted into biogas or biofuel, and clients receive full compliance documentation.
Official documentation
After each grease cleaning and removal, we provide an official report required during inspections by water utilities, food safety authorities, and sanitation services.

Client Case Studies and Examples
Shopping Center Akropole Rīga
A Georgian cuisine restaurant faced a problem with sink placement, as the sinks were located in different corners of the kitchen. This required the installation of several grease traps, which would increase costs and complicate maintenance. We offered an optimal solution: we combined all drains into one line and installed a single grease trap. This solution reduced the client’s expenses and ensured stable kitchen operation.
Shopping Center Galleria Riga
In a small café located in the shopping center, the task was to ensure uninterrupted kitchen operation with a small-diameter sewage pipe. To prevent frequent blockages, we installed a compact grease trap. Installation was completed within a few hours in the evening, when the café was no longer serving visitors. As a result, the kitchen received reliable protection and the ability to work without interruptions.
School in Rēzekne
The school cafeteria faced complaints from the local water utility: the amount of grease waste in the sewage exceeded acceptable limits. To solve the problem, we installed a grease trap, which reduced the load on the sewage system and prevented further blockages. Additionally, it was decided to perform regular maintenance once a month during the school year. This allowed the school to fully resolve the conflict with the water utility and ensure stable kitchen operation.
Medical Institution in Strenči
The cafeteria located in a medical institution faced serious complaints from the water utility due to excessive sewage contamination from kitchen waste. We installed a large grease trap designed for high water volumes and tailored to the facility’s requirements. After the system was launched, the problem was resolved, and all water utility regulations were met. This ensured full compliance with regulations and peace of mind during inspections.
Restaurant in Jūrmala
At a high-capacity restaurant, frequent sewer blockages disrupted kitchen operations and reduced service quality. The solution was the installation of a large outdoor grease trap. Additionally, we agreed on monthly maintenance to relieve the restaurant staff from this responsibility. The entire process — from ordering the equipment from the manufacturer to installation and launch — took about two weeks. This ensured uninterrupted restaurant operation and freed the owners from additional concerns.
Meat Processing Company
The client required a solution for the official disposal of grease waste at the production facility. We installed an industrial grease trap and signed a service agreement for its maintenance. For the client, official disposal documents were a key requirement. We proposed a unique solution: part of the service fee was paid through barter — the company handed over used vegetable oil, and we deducted its value from the maintenance cost. This approach helped optimise expenses and simplify cooperation.
We operate officially and provide clients with all the necessary documents for inspections
