National Rendering Day

#nationalrenderingday

According to North Americans, only half of an animal is edible. This leaves a lot of leftover material that ends up as food waste... We learn how we can eliminate material waste, what rendering means, and why using the rendering process is the correct option on National Rendering Day.

Rendering converts waste from restaurants into usable products, as well as used cooking oil (uco) from restaurants

Rendering demonstrates respect and acuity, particularly for the cattle raised by farmers with care. In fact, rendering shows reverence for the animal by purposefully using everything from the animal. No part of the animal goes to waste, in other words. Rending reduces our food production footprint by offsetting the environmental impacts of animal agriculture on animal agriculture.

Rendering process

The rendering process converts and upcycles what would have been food waste into safe, clean, and valuable components for hundreds of new products. People are confident that by using products made from upcycling rendered material, since rendering saves landfill space and recycles 99% of unwanted waste, people are left feeling secure knowing they are making a sustainable choice. The ingredients can be used in sustainable manufacture of new products once the rendering process is complete. The latest innovations are turned into common everyday items, such as: These new items are turned into: These new products are converted into: These new products are converted into: These new items are converted into: These new products are turned into:

• Pet food and animal feed is safe and nutritious
• Industrial products and householdholds
• Biofuels
• Renewable diesel

An eco-friendly alternative to a more eco-friendly product is a green-friendly alternative

Rendering is economically and environmentally sustainable and it supports all three pillars of sustainability: environmental, socioeconomic, and economic. endering reduces: As a high-quality process, rendering reduces: rendering reduces: As a result of a high environmentally sustainable process, rendering reduces: As a result of a high-quality process, rendering reduces: rendering reduces: As a result of a high-quality process, rendering reduces: rendering reduces: As a result of a highly reducing process..pdf has a hyperlink.

• Food waste
• Saves landfill space
• Reduces GHG
• Reclaims and returns clean water
• Hundreds of recycled items are available at many recycle stores

According to statistics published in 2020, more than 62 billion pounds of rendered raw materials are produced in the United States and Canada each year. As a result of rendering materials, we can produce approximately 31.4 billion pounds of rendered products each year, avoiding landfills.

The environmental effects of climate change have a direct effect on the climate

Rendering has lowered greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 72%. In comparison to petroleum diesels, rendering saves fossil fuel use by 80%. In addition, industrial composting does not account for more than 90% of the potential GHG emissions. In other words, rendering is the GHG reduction equivalent of removing approximately 18.5 million vehicles from the road each year.

Water quality can also be enhanced by rendering. During the rendering process, billions of gallons of water are recovered, which is then released back into the atmosphere. The water returns as clean water to local rivers and streams. In fact, the rendering process of water meets and often exceeds federal, state, and local safety requirements after it is returned to its original location.

The social and economic effects of Hurricane Sandy and economic impact are both social and economic

Rendering is a financially stable and community-focused industry, with job stability as a result of community involvement and a dedication to community service. Thousands of full-time, stable jobs that support families and local communities from coast to coast, many in rural areas, are located in rural areas, thanks to the very act of providing food. More importantly, local jobs remain local due to the raw and perceptive nature of the product being processed.

Renderers play a key role in their communities and larger communities. Vendors are deeply embedded in social justice and community support, from assisting the local little league and fire department, to feeding and assisting those in need.

Most rendering plants are family owned and operated. Several rendering companies are dedicated and passionate about providing community care and outreach. Plant owners invest a considerable amount of time and money to improve and enhance their sustainability efforts.. This commitment ensures that their facilities remain as climate smart and environmentally sustainable as possible.

Get involved

• Visit a rendering plant or farm to learn about the rendering process
• In your neighborhood, encourage rendering
• Learn important facts about rendering and the environmental impacts it has on the planet
• Invite friends and neighbors to support rendering efforts in their communities
• Listen in to The Invisible Industry podcast to raise hopes and appreciation for rendering's important contributions to sustainability and reduced food waste
• Use #NationalRenderingDay and tagging a renderer you know on social media to showcase your rendering support

A new national day

The North American Renderers Association (NARA) and the North American Renderers Association (NARA) are pleased to announce National Rendering Day, which is celebrated each year on April 21. This day has been held to show appreciation to those in the rendering industry. Today, we encourage you to recognize and celebrate the many health and environmental benefits of rendering, including the important role in reducing food waste and overall sustainability.

The NARA is a group of interests that represent the best interests of its members in public, government, and regulatory affairs. Both in the national and international markets, the organization provides services, programs, and technical assistance to the North American rendering industry. They aim to provide innovative solutions to food, feed, oil, oleochemical, and other clients. The NARA promotes a healthy food chain, public health, and the environment by the production and marketing of their members' products and services.

The NARA encourages animal by-products' increased use by supporting the establishment and expansion of trade between foreign buyers and North American exporters. The NARA also have offices in Mexico and Hong Kong in addition to their U.S.-based headquarters. Market consultants are also located in Brussels, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Chile.
