How we report:
Rendering
Rendering is the process of recycling animal and food waste products into useful
commercial goods, including tallow, protein meals (meat and bone
meal), yellow
grease, and hides.
Restaurant Services
Darling is the only US provider of collection, storage, transport, and recycling of
old grease on a national scale.

How the business operates:
Darling operates a fleet of approx 1,000 trucks to collect raw materials from
approx 110,000 food service establishments, butcher shops, grocery stores, and
independent meat and poultry processors nationwide.
“Formula”
basis:
Applied
to
approx
53%
of
Darling’s
annual
raw
material
volume; cost is tied to published finished product commodity prices after
deducting a fixed service charge.
“Non-formula”
basis:
Applied
to
remaining
volume;
suppliers
are
either
paid
a
fixed price, are not paid, or are charged for the expense of collection, depending
on various economic and competitive factors
Darling markets finished products worldwide.
Primarily BFT and YG, and also MBM, a protein;
Oils used in pet food, animal feed, soaps and biofuels;
Oleo-chemical producers use oils to produce ingredients for paint,
rubber, paper, concrete, plastics;
MBM is used as high protein additives in pet food and animal feed

A proposed 50/50 Joint Venture Company between

Animal fat based bio-diesel (TME)
has not been embraced because of
cold flow properties…
hard to handle in the
distribution system and variable quality.

How is the value of fat determined?
=
Price per Bushel / 56 multiplied by 3.0 =
The value of fats and greases
