About Quatra

Quatra is the European market leader in the collection and processing of used cooking oil. The oil we collect from more than 150,000 customers is processed into raw material for sustainable biofuel, which saves more than 90% CO₂ compared to regular diesel. In this way, we play a crucial role in helping Europe become carbon-neutral by 2050 (European Green Deal). We achieve all this with 700 enthusiastic employees across 10 countries (headquarters in Lokeren, Belgium), driven by one goal: to deliver the best service, at the best price, in the most ecological way. In our family business, the right mindset is essential. We are looking for motivated employees who fit within our culture of solution-oriented and independent work.
