Buffalo Biodiesel Inc. Accelerates National Expansion Into Tennessee Following Key Regulatory Milestone

Buffalo Biodiesel Inc., a prominent leader in the recovery and processing of used cooking oil, has officially launched collection operations in Tennessee. This strategic expansion follows the company’s recent receipt of a Part 360 solid waste management permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The permit formalizes the operational capacity of the firm’s primary Tonawanda facility, securing a processing framework capable of handling 300,000 gallons per week.

With its core processing infrastructure now fully authorized, the company is aggressively scaling its logistics network into high-yield Southern markets. Frank V. Balon, President and Chief Legal Officer, confirmed that a new satellite collection hub is scheduled to open in Knoxville by the end of the year. This initial rollout marks the beginning of a comprehensive two-year initiative designed to provide statewide service across Tennessee.

By expanding its footprint, Buffalo Biodiesel is strengthening its closed-loop industrial supply chain to meet the rising demand for renewable biofuel feedstock. This growth not only diverts substantial waste from local landfills but also reinforces the company’s commitment to providing scalable, carbon-neutral energy solutions. Through this expansion, the firm continues to solidify its role as a critical partner in the national transition toward a circular economy.
