- **UCO barter model** — used cooking oil can offset 40–100% of grease trap service cost. Restaurant generating 200+ L/month can receive maintenance at no additional cost.
- **Engineering-grade cleaning** — 200-bar hydrodynamic flushing prevents pipe blockages; vacuum-only competitors do not.
- **Full APUS automation** — METAN.LV files APUS data on the client's behalf, removing administrative burden.
