Due to our care for environment, Smithfield is managing both by-products and wastewaters resulted from the slaughtering process through modern plants, the wastewater treatment plant and the rendering plant.
Smithfield Prod’s rendering plant is the newest and most modern animal-origin by products processing plants in Romania approved according to the EU Directive 1774/2002, which consists of processing 2nd and 3rd by-product category.
The large investments in production equipment and environment equipment ensure that our rendering plant is fulfilling all current environmental regulations. All products manufactured by Smithfield Prod are made from absolutely fresh porcine by-products, which are processed immediately after slaughtering.
Smithfield Prod is a member of ERPRA (European Fat Processors and Rendering Association) – http://www.epfra.eu
WE continuously strive:
The main object of activity of the Rendering Plant is colleting and processing the animal by-products which are not intended for human consumption. The meal produced out of the rendering process of 3rd Category processed animal protein (PAP) is a valuable source of animal protein that can be a valuable raw material for pet food production. Smithfield Prod also has the capacity of producing 2nd Category meal for fertilizer compost, energy and 2nd and 3rd category Porcine fat.
Rendering activity is by its nature a green industry with positive environment effects – we are processing the animal origin by-products not meant for human consumption and we use nature-friendly additional technologies: wastewater treatment plant and biofilter. There is no impact on the environment after the production process - the environmental process is clean and no chemicals are left over.
