Strategic Sourcing for a Renewable Future: How CERCO Aligns Bio-Based Solutions with Market Demands

The global shift toward renewable fuels and sustainable ingredients isn’t a trend — it’s a structural transformation.

Producers across industries are under pressure to reduce carbon intensity, diversify material streams, and future-proof operations. But sourcing renewable feedstocks at scale — and at the right specifications — remains a significant challenge.

That’s where CERCO brings a different kind of value.

Market Expertise Meets Operational Agility

At CERCO, we specialize in sourcing and supplying fats, oils, and renewable fuels feedstocks tailored to the evolving demands of industries such as:

  • Renewable diesel and SAF production

  • Bioplastics and industrial manufacturing

  • Food and personal care ingredient manufacturing

  • Animal feed and agriculture solutions

Unlike traditional trading firms, we don’t just move what’s available — we help build sourcing strategies that anticipate regulatory shifts, supply chain constraints, and emerging market opportunities.

Our advantage lies in:

  • Material versatility — sourcing both conventional and unconventional bio-based materials

  • Network depth — strong relationships with processors, refiners, and specialty producers

  • Risk alignment — structuring supply solutions that mitigate volatility and compliance risks

We think in systems — not just shipments.

Beyond Traditional Feedstocks

As markets evolve, so must material strategies. CERCO is constantly evaluating new sourcing opportunities, including:

  • Waste and residual oils

  • Upcycled agricultural byproducts

  • Non-food-grade oils suitable for renewable fuels

  • Alternative extraction opportunities for vitamins, bioactives, and co-products

By thinking beyond traditional silos, we help our clients meet sustainability goals while expanding margin opportunities.

Navigating Compliance and Carbon Markets

With growing emphasis on carbon scoring (e.g., LCFS, RINs, RED II), material sourcing is increasingly linked to compliance obligations and incentives.

CERCO assists partners in navigating these complexities — helping them secure the right materials with the proper traceability and documentation needed for today’s regulatory frameworks.

We don’t just deliver product — we deliver competitive advantage.
