Buffalo, New York Oct 7, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Buffalo Biodiesel Inc. is a clean-energy recycling company that has been in business for over 20 years. We currently collect and recycle used cooking oil from over 28,000 locations in fifteen states.

President Sumit Majumdar issued the following statement:

"Buffalo Biodiesel continues to deal with hundreds of thefts a week as organized crime steals used cooking oil from our containers stationed at our supplier locations. This is overwhelming our staff and the system.

Regarding our permit for our Town of Tonawanda facility, plain and simple, we dropped the ball. But we are a responsible, reputable business and we hold ourselves accountable. We now have full permission and authority under an agreement with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to operate this facility unfettered, with no restrictions of any kind on volume collected or volume processed, which will allow Buffalo Biodiesel to continue to fully service our suppliers.

The DEC has given us adequate timelines (July 2026) to complete permitting requirements, which is very helpful. We have already submitted updates to our existing application, and we are currently making the necessary modifications to our Town of Tonawanda facility, which is already undergoing an upgrade of more than $1 million. This will lead to a state-of-the-art used cooking oil processing facility ,which will be the only one of its kind in New York State.

While our competitors have pulled their processing facilities and the corresponding jobs out of the state of New York, Buffalo Biodiesel remains committed to keeping processing and jobs here in the state. We could have left New York several years ago, as our competitors did, to process in an arguably easier and more profitable business and regulatory environment, but we remained loyal to our state, our community, our suppliers and our more than 100 employees. For us, profits are not the only way to measure success. Our yardstick is being a contributing member to our community and our state, supporting our employees and their jobs, providing stellar service to our suppliers, and leaving our environment in a better condition for the future than where we found it. To continue honoring those objectives Buffalo Biodiesel remains committed to processing in New York State."
