Hotels and leisure parks that value sustainability can have their own level of sustainability independently confirmed through the “Green Key” eco-label, a major environmental certification for tourism establishments worldwide. Responsible for implementing the programme in Germany, the German Association for Environmental Education (DGU) is for the first time proposing suppliers whose products and services represent a significant improvement in sustainability for hotels and leisure parks.

For environmentally-aware customers

FiltaFry - full-service mobile fryer management, is among the first suppliers to have its service recommended through the Green Key eco-label. “We love to cooperate with companies that help tourism establishments operate in a more environmentally-friendly way and thereby fulfil the criteria for Green Key certification, also over the longer term”, says Robert Lorenz, Coordinator of the German Association for Environmental Education (DGU).

Sustainable frying helps to cut costs

“We recommend FiltaFry’s very effective and beneficial services because we think that not only does it make life easier for restaurant kitchen staff, the fryers are always clean and the oil is always flawless, but also because up to 50% of the oil can be conserved through regular on-site filtration”, adds Lorenz. “In this way restaurateurs are making a measurable contribution to environmental protection and even saving costs.”

“To be recommended by the German Association for Environmental Education really means a lot to me personally. It is also a major milestone for our company and all franchisers”, says FiltaFry Managing Director Jos van Aalst. “Numerous hotels and leisure parks such as Wunderland Kalkar are already customers of ours, profiting from a multitude of benefits. They can now also impress their guests with their sustainability.”

Filta – full-service mobile fryer management – was founded in 1996 in the UK and operates on a franchise basis. Today Filta is established in many countries around the world and is also active in Germany (since 2015) and Austria (since 2018) with FiltaFry Deutschland GmbH. The concept consists of filtering the cooking oil and on-site fryer cleaning including the professional disposal of waste oil. Upon request, Filta delivers fresh oil and refills the fryers. Furthermore Filta provides additional mobile services: the direct on-site replacement of refrigerator seals and regular, chemical-free drain cleaning, as well as state-of-the-art solutions for grease separation and cleaning of extraction systems. Filta is part of Franchise Brands Group since May 2022.

Customers include restaurants and snack bars, hotels, caterers, sports venues, leisure parks, and company and university canteens among many others. Filta is an active member of the German Franchise Association as well as the Greentable and United against Waste initiatives. Filta received the Green Franchise Award, the German Award for Sustainability Projects and the German Sustainability Award in 2022. www.filtafry.eu
