Tridge summary

Brazil is exploring the possibility of opening its national market for meat meal, with Decto Coutinho, Executive President of the Brazilian Association for Animal Recycling (Abra), in Colombia to demonstrate the industry's practices and expand the market. The animal recycling sector collects and processes waste from cattle, pigs, chickens, and fish, which would otherwise represent a significant environmental risk. The waste is transformed into flours and oils, used as chicken, pig, and fish food, and in the production of soap, biodiesel, and cosmetics. In 2020, the sector collected three million tons of waste in Brazil, preventing environmental damage. These products are currently exported to 40 countries, including Colombia, which is the third-largest importer of animal meal in Brazil. The Brazilian Renderers project, initiated in 2012 by Abra and Apex-Brasil, aims to promote exports in the animal recycling sector.
