Over 3000 loads of meat processing byproduct was sustainably handled
This prevented damage to the client's equipment and helped save their bottom line.
Solving the Problem
Initial Contact and Problem Identification
The waste stream consisted of renderable products such as meat, scrap bone, blood, and feathers from meat processors. The client received a call from a customer who needed them to take their waste products. However, the client couldn't incorporate this waste into their system effectively. This is where IWR stepped in to find a suitable solution.
Developing a Cost-Effective Solution
IWR's team recognized the need to handle the waste stream efficiently and cost-effectively. They analyzed the waste material, specifically a specific type of sludge, which was causing problems in the client's rendering process. The sludge was clogging their equipment and affecting the quality of their finished material. IWR understood the importance of finding a solution that didn't burden the client financially.
The IWR Network Advantage
With their large network of haulers, IWR explored various options for handling the waste stream. Their team leveraged their extensive connections within the waste industry to identify potential partners who would be interested in the waste material. Through their network, IWR found farmers who were willing to pay for the waste. This solution not only resolved the issue for the client but also allowed IWR to generate revenue from the waste material.
Overcoming Constraints
While finding a solution, IWR faced logistical constraints and the challenge of securing an off-take for the waste material. Initially, there was a concern that IWR might incur significant costs without a viable outlet for the waste. However, by leveraging their network and expertise, IWR successfully identified partners who were interested in the waste material and willing to pay for it. This resolved the initial constraint and ensured a sustainable solution for both the client and IWR.
