Using the concept of "upcycling" we turn used cooking oil into a comprehensive line bio-soap and bio-solvent products: Hero Biobased Cleaning Products.

500,000,000 gallons of vegetable oil and 1 billion gallons of animal fats are either being poured down drain, landfilled or rendered for high fat high carb animal diets. Can we find a better way? Can we find the perfect Green Solution for Industry?

We collect "Post Consumer Vegetable Oil" from Chicagoland restaurants and food processing facilities, helping these businesses do the right thing with their used cooking oil and also compensating them for this resource.

We refine the "Post Consumer Vegetable Oil" into its base ingredients and then transform it into the finest bio-soaps and bio-solvents. By "Upcycling" the used vegetable oil, we convert a used product into a higher value resource rather than one of equal or lower value. It is a smarter way to manufacture bio-soaps and bio-solvents, saving material, saving water, saving energy, and saving the earth. We do this in our custom facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. And we create a secondary market for used vegetable oil which provides a welcome source of income for local restaurants not to mention the "green" bragging rights for their businesses.

But when you ask our customers what they value most about HeroT Biobased Cleaning Products, the most frequent comment you will hear:"Cleaning POWER!" Hero works, where other "green" cleaners aren't productive, Hero will have you checking the label to make sure you aren't using the "other stuff". But it goes back to the Art of Soapmaking. Vegetable oil-based chemistry, also know as oleochemistry, produces the best cleaners and Hero makes the best cleaners even better.
