The plant can be set up within slaughterhouses, maximising efficiency and convenience. This slaughterhouse waste can be utilised for various processes like anaerobic digestion, enzymatic hydrolysis, rendering, insect bioconversion, microbial fermentation and algae cultivation. From waste reduction, recycling resource conservation and reduced harmful impact on the environment to enhanced fish health and nutrition and cost-effective and sustainable feed production, this initiative can bring a groundbreaking change.”

CEF Group and Halman-Aldubi Group have also worked out possibilities to export the outcome products to foreign developed countries, ensuring export-quality materials. This not only contributes to waste reduction and resource conservation but also creates economic opportunities and fosters international collaboration, the statement added.
