About Ororo Waste
Ororo Waste Management Limited, founded in 2021 and based in Ikeja, Lagos, collects used cooking oil from restaurants, hotels, food processors and commercial kitchens and aggregates it into ISCC-certified feedstock for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel producers under offtake agreements.
