Sustainability pays off: The VITO frying oil filter has been awarded the KÜCHE BEST PRODUCT GREEN AWARD 2025, securing 2nd place in the Technology category. This recognition highlights innovation that actively contributes to resource conservation and CO₂ reduction in the food service industry.
By using the VITO filter, businesses can significantly reduce operational costs while making a meaningful impact on environmental sustainability. The filtration system extends the lifespan of frying oil by up to 100%, cutting oil consumption by as much as 50%. The result: lower costs, less waste, and reduced CO₂ emissions.
Measurable Climate Impact
The food service industry is highly resource-intensive, but sustainable technologies like the VITO filter provide an effective solution. For example, after five years of use, the CO₂ emissions from two deep fryers (each with a 20-liter capacity) decrease from 5.2 tons to just 2.7 tons. In many cases, the filter achieves a positive CO₂ balance within just 5.5 weeks.
Additionally, the VITO filter helps minimize waste. By reducing the amount of frying oil used, it not only decreases waste oil but also significantly cuts down on packaging waste. Another key advantage: The cellulose filters are fully biodegradable, ensuring no additional environmental burden.
Sustainability as a Core Principle
Sustainability is more than just a trend—it is an integral part of VITO AG’s philosophy. Beyond developing innovative products, the company actively supports initiatives such as United Against Waste, which aims to reduce food waste. The #VITOgreen campaign raises awareness among food service professionals about responsible resource management.
