Zeitco Commodity Group (website brand: “Zeitco Group”) is a commodity buyer that purchases used cooking oil (UCO), yellow grease, waste vegetable oil and related renewable fuel feedstocks from collectors, recyclers, haulers and bulk aggregators. It then sells that material into downstream markets, chiefly biodiesel and renewable diesel (HVO) refineries, animal feed producers and the oleochemical industry, plus export.
The company is owned and operated by two petroleum engineers and positions itself on four promises: transparent, quality-based pricing; fast payment; logistics support; and long-term partnerships. It buys nationwide across the United States and also accepts international material from suppliers with proper documentation.

The website describes Zeitco as built by petroleum industry professionals. Its two owners are petroleum engineers whose stated experience covers:
• Fuel markets
• Commodity trading
• Industrial logistics
• Renewable energy supply chains
From that background, the company claims an understanding of the full life cycle of biofuel feedstocks: collection, storage, transportation and market pricing. It says this expertise shapes each supplier relationship.
The site does not name the owners, give a founding date, list staff or describe facilities. See Section 14 for the points worth confirming directly with the company.
Zeitco sits in the middle of the UCO supply chain. It buys material from businesses that collect it and sells it to businesses that process it. The site says that long-term offtake relationships with end buyers give it consistent buying power year-round, regardless of seasonal price swings.

Zeitco buys from businesses across the renewable fuels supply chain, not directly from individual restaurants. Its target suppliers are:
Supplier segment
Supplier segment
UCO collection companies
Grease recycling companies
Biodiesel producers
Renewable fuel suppliers
Rendering companies
Restaurant oil collection firms
Independent grease haulers
Regional transfer stations
The FAQ adds independent operators and bulk suppliers, and confirms that international suppliers and aggregators are welcome with the proper documentation.
End market
Use of the feedstock (added context)
Biodiesel production
Converted to FAME biodiesel by transesterification.
Renewable diesel (HVO)
Hydrotreated into drop-in renewable diesel; also a route to sustainable aviation fuel.
Animal feed manufacturing
Used as a fat and energy source in feed.
Oleochemical processing
Feedstock for fatty acids, soaps, lubricants and similar products.
Rendering operations
Further processing and blending.
Export markets
Shipped to international buyers.
Pricing rests on two quality measures that the site describes as driving every UCO transaction. Cleaner oil earns a higher rate, and higher volumes can earn premium rates.
Measure
What it is
Effect on price (added context)
FFA
Free fatty acid content
Higher FFA means more refining loss for the buyer, so lower FFA earns a better price.
MIU
Moisture, impurities and unsaponifiables
Water, solids and non-convertible matter reduce usable yield, so lower MIU earns a better price.
• Testing on arrival: every load is tested for FFA and impurities when it arrives.
• Open results: results are shared directly with the supplier.
• Benchmarked: prices are referenced to current Jacobsen and CME benchmarks, then adjusted for quality and volume.
• No hidden costs: no hidden deductions and no broker layers.
The Jacobsen is a widely used price-reporting service for fats, oils and UCO; CME refers to futures (e.g. soybean oil) traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The site does not publish actual prices or premium/discount scales.
