Petrolube Oil has successfully qualified to participate in the global 2021
Omnipreneurship Awards: through its Sustainability Branch Challenge. After a
tough competition during which several companies pitched their proposals on
business challenges to which they are seeking an innovative and sustainable
solution to, Petrolube's proposal won. They are now seeking innovative
solutions to recycle used cooking oil, turning it into an environmentally
sustainable and biodegradable lubricant, in line with global standards.
Petrolube will apply the winning technology to its state-of-the-art re-refining
process to recycle used oil for use in other industries. The result will be a
more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective product. The award is also
in line with the Sustainability Goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and Petrolube's own
sustainability values.
The competition will open for submissions from 09 September 2021, closing 30
November 2021. Five finalists will be announced in February 2022 and will each
receive $20,000. Ultimately, one winner will be awarded $1million and will sign
a deal with Petrolube to further develop their proposed solution.
On this occasion, Petrolube CEO Sajid Saeed said, "This award aims to fully
realize the capacity of oil to be recycled and reused. Oil re-refining is
environmentally friendly. It also aims to find a constructive use for the
estimated 540,000 metric tons of cooking oil used in Saudi Arabia every year."
"Petrolube has an unmatched reputation for providing the highest quality
products and services in the industry and we are therefore very keen, along
with our partners, to seek innovative technologies in the reuse of oil. The
challenge also reflects our commitment to the National Transformation Program
Sustainability Goals in line with Saudi Vision 2030," he added.
Petrolube Oil produces over 250 different lubricant products and exports to 35
countries in the GCC, Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
Last year Tanmiah Food Company (TFC) qualified for the 2020 challenge, through
the same pitching process for the Omnipreneurship Awards. TFC is a leading
listed Saudi poultry company that sought out solutions from the global
community for sustainable ways to create value out of waste generated on their
farms. The competition resulted in a successful approach to waste management
with the introduction of new technological applications.
