Up to 1,000 jobs could be created by a new artificial intelligence data centre in North Lincolnshire.
Sustenta also receives funding from the embassy of the The Netherlands in the region, which told the BBC that it chose Sustenta because "their project offered an innovative and viable solution, using an enterprising approach which has a social impact"."It [their project] not only contributes to lessening the environmental impact through an emphasis on creating a circular economy, but also empowers young people and women - the groups most affected by climate change - and generates green jobs."
Sustenta offers between 2.50 and 3.50 Lempiras (£0.08 and £0.11) per pound of used cooking oil.And it is not just small businesses it deals with.In May of 2024, the NGO signed a contract with the Mexican and Central American division of the retail giant Walmart.
This contract guarantees a flow of used cooking oil and grease from all companies related to Walmart to Sustenta, which Mr Pineda says is critical to Sustenta's project."We needed a reliable flow to scale up production. (...) Otherwise, we could quickly run out of used cooking oil, because of the black market that is competing with us," adds Mr Chávez.
It then brings the cooking oil and grease to a plant in Comayagua, where they are purified and processed in a reaction known as saponification. This process combines fats or oils with an alkali to produce soap.
Mr Pineda says that Sustenta is keen to develop "a circular ecological system in which we reuse everything".Another backlog the government wants to clear is the mountain of court appeals from asylum seekers following rejected claims.
That backlog has got worse since last summer's election.There were about 33,000 cases at the end of June, rising to nearly 42,000 in December - the highest total since at least 2015.
The government has also promised to "increase returns" of people with no legal right to be in the UK. It said it would set up a new returns and enforcement unit with 1,000 extra staff.Between July 2024 (when Labour came to power) and May 2025,
