Latest merger creates one of the largest independent UCO collection networks, establishing dominant multi-state platform for rapidly expanding renewable diesel industry.

Eazy Grease today announced completion of its strategic merger with Liquid Recovery Solutions, establishing the company as the emerging leader in multi-regional used cooking oil collection with a 9-state operational platform. This transformation creates one of the largest independent UCO collection network spanning Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania — delivering the scale of major industry players while maintaining the operational agility and customer service focus that independent operators provide.

ISCC EU-certified Eazy Grease will take over Liquid Recovery Solutions' processing plants and vehicle assets across multiple states, significantly expanding operational capacity and fleet capabilities. The merger also includes Liquid Recovery Solutions' recent acquisition of Hulsey Environmental from Cleveland, GA, creating additional operational synergies and market coverage.

"We've built something unique in this industry," said Artem Kamalov, Chief Strategy Officer of Eazy Grease. "Our targeted merger strategy creates scale without sacrificing the personalized service that restaurants value. We're proving that aggressive growth and exceptional customer experience aren't mutually exclusive, and this merger demonstrates our ability to execute complex transactions while maintaining operational excellence."

This merger represents the continuation of Eazy Grease's aggressive acquisition strategy, building on successful business combinations with Green Nature Recycling in the Northeast and Florida-based companies DHT Grease Solutions, CleanFri, Daytona Biodiesel, and Relentless Renewables. This rapid expansion demonstrates a more efficient growth model than traditional industry consolidation. While large corporations like Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR) and Neste Corporation (NESTE.HE) grow through broad acquisitions often requiring complex integration, Eazy Grease's focused regional approach delivers faster operational synergies and maintains local market expertise.

This innovative strategy positions Eazy Grease to capitalize on explosive market growth, with the renewable diesel market valued at $23 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $52.1 billion by 2034 at 8.1% CAGR. North America holds 47.5% market share, with vegetable oil feedstock anticipated to cross $44.5 billion by 2034, highlighting the critical importance of UCO that Eazy Grease collects. The company's multi-regional platform creates supply chain reliability for major biodiesel producers while preserving responsive service that differentiates independent operators. As renewable fuel demand accelerates in this government-supported $52+ billion market expansion, Eazy Grease offers biofuel producers a strategic partner combining enterprise-scale operations with entrepreneurial agility.
