UAB “Biomotorai” is a family business founded by Donatas and Aušrinė Karanauskai, which has been purposefully working in the field of used oil management for almost two decades. Together with SIA “Biomotorai Latvia” and “Biomotorai Eesti” OÜ, we operate across all Baltic countries.
The activities of “Biomotorai” began with alternative fuel solutions and experiments with cars using oil as fuel. This direction naturally evolved into the systematic collection of used oil waste and its preparation for energy production.
In 2006, we were among the first in Lithuania to start working consistently in the oil waste sector. Today we are one of the market leaders in the region. During this time, we have built a team of more than 30 specialists who ensure the smooth operation of logistics, processing, and raw material preparation every day.
While expanding the activities of “Biomotorai,” we invested in advanced technologies, the development of production facilities, and increasing operational capacity. Over 19 years, more than 3,000 companies from the food service sector have become our clients. Some of them have been working with us since the very first years of our operations. Long-term partnership to us means responsibility — for a clear process, reliable service, and real results.
In 2024, we began a new stage — the collection of household-generated used oil. Today we collect oil waste from more than 200 containers in 30 municipalities across Lithuania. During the first year, residents separately sorted almost 10,000 liters of cooking oil. These are thousands of liters that did not end up in sewage systems or mixed waste.
Our services:
- Collection and purchase of used cooking oil from food producers;
- Collection of used oil from households;
- Collection and purchase of new food oil unsuitable for consumption;
- Purchase of used oil waste from other waste management companies;
- Supply of processed raw material to biodiesel producers
Why is this important?
Improperly disposed oil pollutes soil and water, clogs wastewater systems, and in landfills releases methane — a gas with a significant environmental impact.
We ensure that the collected oil becomes a raw material for biodiesel rather than a source of pollution. Biodiesel produced from recycled oil can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80–90% compared to fossil fuels.
Every liter of oil collected separately means less pollution and greater use of renewable energy.
Partnership that creates results
Our partners, by collecting used oil waste separately, contribute to reducing pollution and increasing the use of renewable energy. Their decisions have a measurable impact.
Since 2019, we have recognized these efforts by issuing Sustainable Partner certificates. They clearly show the quantities of oil waste collected during the year and the CO₂ emissions saved.
We do not only collect oil — we turn it into tangible results.
How we work
We organize used oil collection so that it does not interfere with our partners’ daily activities and does not require additional time from their teams.
We collect, process, and prepare the raw material in a way that ensures efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
We take responsibility for every liter collected across the entire value chain.
