Rendering supports and enhances the sustainability of the animal-based food chain. The EFPRA Sustainability Charter is available as a hard copy and an interactive version.
Animal by-products are a rich source of energy and nutrition. Renderers recover these valuable resources and sell them in several products to other parts of the animal food chain and to other sectors. This helps upstream and downstream partners to improve the sustainability of their operations.
Products ranging from from food, animal feed and feriliser to renewable, fuels, oleochemicals and pharmaceuticals use animal by-products. This supports a circular bioeconomy that reuses, recovers and recycles resources instead of producing 'waste'.
