Used cooking oil out of your sewer. Into a campaign that runs itself.

Ekofunnel is the consumer-facing recycling tool — and the campaign system — used by 8 of the UK’s water companies, Hera, Suez and over 20 European utilities to stop fats, oils and grease from blocking sewers and damaging treatment infrastructure.

The Ekofunnel helps households recycle waste cooking oil – turning waste into a resource.

What FOG is costing your network

Up to 75% of sewer blockages start in household kitchens. Pouring used cooking oil down the drain turns into fatberg formation, blocked pumps, sewer flooding and pipe damage — and the bill lands on your operations budget.

  • Operational cost — emergency callouts, unblocking, pumping station damage
  • Customer experience — sewer flooding incidents, complaints, regulatory scrutiny
  • Infrastructure — fatty acid corrosion of concrete pipes, accelerated asset degradation
  • Environment — sewage spills, fines, public perception

The most effective solution is upstream: stop it before it leaves the kitchen.

The Ekofunnel system

Two products. One household behaviour change.

Ekofunnel screws onto a regular plastic bottle and seals tightly with its lid. The original bottle cap can be stored neatly inside the lid. It prevents smells and leaks, keeping used cooking oil safely stored.
When the bottle is full, the oil is recycled according to local guidelines. Then simply attach Ekofunnel to a new bottle and continue collecting.

Fits most plastic bottles
Ekofunnel is designed to screw securely onto most standard plastic bottles (18 mm bottle neck), turning everyday containers into simple oil collectors.
Easy to store clean and reuse
The lid prevents smells and leakages. Easy to store under the sink with the rest of your recycling. Once bottle is full just keep using the Ekofunnel on the next bottle.
