NARA calls on the administration and relevant agencies to revise their strategies and policies to fully integrate rendering as a recognized and supported method of reducing food loss and waste.
NARA remains concerned that the final strategy fails to fully recognize the rendering industry's contributions to reducing food loss and waste by diverting 54 million pounds of raw material from landfills each year.
Achievements reflect NARA's dedication to advocating for policies that benefit their members and the rendering industry and contribute to the agricultural circular bioeconomy.
Senators send a letter to EPA Administrator Michael Regan, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, concerned that rendering was not included in the Draft National Strategy for Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics.
