Worldwide kitchens are using frying oil on a daily basis to provide their customers with fried foods.
This ends with a lot of used up oil every day and opens huge possibilities of preserving the natural
ressources. This is where VITO® oil filter system comes into play.
VITO® is used in more than 20 000 kitchens worldwide and its use is saving several tons of oil every
single day. The VITO® oil filter system is manufactured and distributed by SYS Systemfiltration
GmbH, a company located in South Germany. It has been developed with its main focus on reducing
the oil usage in kitchens and is in use from the smallest snack bar up to the finest Hotels.
The sustainability of VITO® has been recognized time and time again. The last success was the 95th
annual International Hotel, Motel + Restaurant Show® (IHMRS ) in New York where the US subset,
Systemfiltration Inc. got awarded with the EDITORS“ CHOICE AWARD for best Green Equipment &
Supplies.
By filtering the frying oil daily VITO® is able to reduce the frying oil consumption by up to 50%.
The lower oil consumption is one aspect of the high sustainability kitchens reach but this is only the
most obvious. The environmental benefits start as early as with the production of frying oil itself.
As less oil is used every day less oil needs to be produced as well. This effects directly the
deforestation of the rainforest and by this also the production of greenhouse gas emissions
The process of frying oil production consumes a lot machine and manpower and produces huge
quantities of carbon emissions. Starting with the deforestation of the rainforest to gain space for oil
plants, from toiling the fields, machines to process the raw materials, to pack and transport the raw
and finished products there are a lof of steps where carbon is produced.
This can be reduced significantly by simply cutting the exisiting consumption and daily demand.
Taking the environmental responsibility serious VITO® follows the three R’s of the waste hierarchy:
reduce, reuse, recycle
By filtering the frying oil the ammount of oil needed is significantly reduced.
The filtering makes it possible to reuse the oil.
The spent oil can be filtered and then recycled as e.g. fuel for diesel motors.
The need for package is also lower as less package is needed. Most frying oils are sold in carefully
packed bags and buckets to make sure the oil arrives safely at the customer. Most of these packings
are not reuseable and have to be disposed of.
By using less oil there is less disposal of packing material.
