Volume In, Quality Out : Rendering is a high-volume, high-tech industry. Skilled Workforce : Rendering plants have extensively trained workers who use high-tech controls to operate ultra-hot temperature cookers, centrifuges, and presses.
Renderers have a high labor retention rate. Contact Us Contact Us. Rendering: The Facts. Rendering is Recycling. UCO is included in the recycled category.
Renderers are substantial employers who offer competitive benefits to their employees, including paid time off, contributions to k and other retirement funds that help ensure their employees are taken care in retirement , paid health insurance premiums, disability insurance, and education assistance for job-related skills and certificates.
The rendering industry is dynamic and ever changing. New focus and initiatives continue to occur in the areas of environmental issues, governmental regulations, raw material, and market conditions. Large amounts of energy are used during the rendering process, in the cooking process, and by the fleet of trucks needed to haul the raw and finished material to the plant or customers.
Renderers continue to seek to solve these evolving issues by finding more efficient solutions and economical rendering equipment. Updates in consumer preference of food will also continue to change. Reduced waste is a factor front-of-mind for many consumers, as is sustainability. The rendering industry continues to educate the public on the many sustainability benefits of upcycling rendered material into new goods.
Looking ahead the rendering industry has these large-scale issues to keep in mind, as well as more focused key items to consider as it prepares for the future. The rendering industry and markets for rendered products should expand to match the predicted growth of meat production and services needed by a growing U. Continued investments in research such as that by the Fats and Proteins Research Foundation FPRF are also needed to fund research that can enhance product safety, improve rendering efficiency, support use in animal nutrition, and find new uses and markets for these byproducts.
African Swine Fever continues to spread across southeastern Asia, as such, the animal feeding and rendering industries need to remain cognizant and ready to combat nonscientific animal health and feed safety concerns regarding porcine-derived products with knowledge of existing research. In simple terms, swine producers and veterinarians often think use of rendered products pose a risk of spreading virus. Scientific data does not support this assumption.
Trends continue to evolve in the pet food sector as well, the latest of which relates to the use of animal byproducts in dog and cat foods that are not rendered but rather purchased raw or frozen and then extruded as a complete pet food. Another trend emerging in the poultry industry is to eliminate animal byproducts in poultry rations. The rendering industry must continue to use new and existing research data to prove that animal byproducts can provide a nutrient rich diet for poultry.
The rendering industry also continues to research new methods and processes to meet needs of evolving customers. The rendering business is profitable and sustainable. It is also essential to making a meat animal more sustainable than it would be if byproducts were not rendered and used for the highest possible purpose. By making numerous new products with the unused meat and byproducts derived from livestock, rendering and renderers provide local jobs, support their communities, and contribute to significantly reduced food waste, saved landfill space, reduced GHG emissions, production of nutritious and sustainable animal food, and clean water reclamation.
