Envirmix Grease traps also known as grease interceptors are plumbing systems that serve as our first line of defense in the environment when it comes to preventing fats, oil and grease (FOG) from entering the water waste management system and eventually the ocean. Waste water treatment plants are not able to cope with FOG. This piece of equipment, which is usually made of hard plastic, fiberglass or concrete and placed inside the kitchen or buried underground, is therefore very important when it comes to reducing the impact of our existence to the environment.

When grease from food chains, restaurants and even from residential kitchens gets into the wastewater unmitigated, it would have the similar effect to that of an oil spill which is why water waste management systems are enacted to control this effect. Without grease traps, water waste management will have less effect controlling the influx of FOG.
