Transforming co-products and byproducts of animal agriculture into useable components is a vital part of sustainability in the animal agriculture industry. Annually, the rendering industry converts more than 50 billion pounds of inedible co-products and byproducts into marketable, valuable products to vastly reduce waste and increase efficiency across the entire industry. The successes of this industry and the challenges facing it will be discussed at the 2022 International Rendering Symposium, held in conjunction with the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta.
Hosted by the North American Renderers Association (NARA) and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), the International Rendering Symposium will focus on challenges and opportunities facing the rendering industry today and on the horizon, as renderers continue in their vital role of “closing the loop” on sustainability in animal agriculture. The two, half-day symposium will begin on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 27, 2022, and continue through Friday morning, Jan. 28. The cost of registration is $250.
