Recycling Service
Les Amis' Sustainable Social Enterprise
Since its launch in 2018:
1) Over 1 million litres of used, commercial cooking oil recycled (equal to 6,666 bathtubs of oil saved from being burned up into Jersey's skies) and turned into biofuel
2) Over 200 Jersey cafes, restaurants and hospitality businesses benefit from Les Amis' free oil collection service
3) Around 18,800 employment hours generated for Islanders with learning disabilities
