A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE INNOVATIVE EFFORTS OF MIDLANDS BIOFUELS IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY AND TO COMMEND THE CORPORATE LEADERSHIP FOR OUTSTANDING WORK TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE.

Whereas, located in historic Winnsboro, Midlands Biofuels has led the way in South Carolina in the production of a number of BioProducts through the recycling of waste byproducts; and

Whereas, this enterprise seeks not only to reduce potentially damaging effects of Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) to the environment, but also to convert this reusable product into useful biodiesel, a cleanerburning renewable fuel, made in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Midlands Biofuels offers local restaurants a seamless transition of waste oil collection services by providing collection containers and picking up the oil regardless of the quantity; and

Whereas, Midlands Biofuels further promotes these restaurants as environmentally friendly businesses to the community and offers them discounted Biodiesel fuel prices; and

Whereas, with the increased use of Biodiesel in the United States, the production of that fuel in South Carolina has opened new industry that offers jobs to South Carolinians and revenue to the State; and

Whereas, offering a variety of BioProducts and enginefuel services to the community has enabled this corporation to set a high standard for South Carolina in order to make our State environmentally sound for us and for our posterity; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the contributions of Midlands Biofuels and are pleased to commend this company for its contributions to South Carolina’s industry and environment. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the innovative efforts of Midlands Biofuels in Fairfield County and commend the corporate leadership for outstanding work to improve the environment of our beautiful State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Midlands Biofuels.
