Our production process

We support industries, such as slaughterhouses, restaurants, farmers, grocers and more, to create maximum value from their organic waste streams.

Where others see waste, we see value. We transform this material into renewable resources that add value to nature--from renewable electricity and gas to the nutrients that go on to make fertilizers.

Biofuel feedstocks

From fats to renewable fuels

We take animal fats that are deemed unfit to go back into the feed supply chain into feedstocks for biofuels. With our state-of-the-art pre-treatment facility, we transform what was once considered waste into valuable, low-carbon intensity feedstocks to help power trucks, trains, ships and now airplanes.
