U.S. Foodservice moves into biofuel

U.S. Foodservice officials plan to fuel trucks at their Columbia division in Lexington, S.C., with biodiesel made from used vegetable oil that the company originally sold to customers in the region.


U.S. Foodservice, headquartered in Rosemont, Ill., recently announced the purchase of WVO Industries of Bluffton, S.C., a facility that turns used vegetable oil to fuel.


The company plans to move the WVO operation to its Lexington distribution center, according to the release.


By late 2011 U.S. Foodservice officials hope to be converting 5 million pounds of waste oil into 400,000 gallons of bio feedstock annually. About 200,000 gallons would be used annually in fuel for the division's trucks. The rest could be used for other divisions or as a supply source for outside companies.
