Giving every end a new beginning
Nothing in nature is wasted.
Every atom of every living thing is reused again and again.
We apply this same circularity to industry, taking materials that would otherwise be wasted and transforming them into hundreds of valuable ingredients that the world depends on daily – food for livestock, pets and people; gelatin and collagen for human health and wellbeing; low-emission fuel for cars, trucks, trains and planes; and renewable energy to power homes and businesses.
We’re always chasing new ways to maximize resources and help the world find solutions, innovating to create new products from the old, making lives better and more sustainable. A whole new cycle of good, born from the old, exactly as nature intended.
As a family of brands and businesses that spans the globe, we’re the number one publicly traded company of our kind. Our unique scale allows us to make entire industries less wasteful and more sustainable, while helping to keep our own business sustainably profitable.
Being in business for more than a century has taught us many lessons. The greatest of which is this: the best way to protect nature is to act like nature.
At Darling Ingredients, that's exactly what we do.
