The Rendering Crisis in Utah
Pounds Wasted Annually
of animal byproducts being landfilled since facility closure. These landfilled byproducts generates 1,450 tons of Methane equating to 40,000 tons of COâ‚‚.
Tons of Equivalent COâ‚‚ Emitted Annually
Greenhouse gas emissions created annually from landfilled materials create a growing environmental and social cost to Utah.
Annual Cost
Is the estimated social and environmental cost using EPA's metrics. A cost of $1600 per ton of Methane and $190 per ton of COâ‚‚.
Since the closure of Utah's only independent rendering facility, the state has faced mounting environmental and economic consequences. Without proper rendering infrastructure, valuable resources are wasted while municipalities and taxpayers bear increasing disposal costs.
Environmental Impact
Current Situation
- 1,450 tons of methane emissions from landfilled byproducts
- Increased leachate contamination risks
- Wasted natural resources and nutrients
- Strain on landfill capacity
Our Solution
- Prevent 40,000 tons of COâ‚‚-equivalent emissions annually
- Resource recovery and circular economy principles
- Reduced landfill burden and environmental contamination
- Positioning Utah as a leader in agricultural sustainability
