Darling Ingredients to buy waste from new Iowa beef slaughterhouse

In Texas, Darling Ingredients Inc. has entered into an agreement with Cattlemen’s Heritage Beef Company to purchase the off-take from its planned 2,000-head per day beef-processing facility in Mills County, Iowa. Darling Ingredients also announced that it intends to expand its nearby Bellevue, Nebraska, rendering plant to increase receiving and processing capacity.

“This agreement further strengthens Darling Ingredients’ ability to deliver high-quality protein, as global demand continues to increase, and it will also provide additional feedstock for our renewable diesel production and recently announced investment in sustainable aviation fuel production,” said Chairman and CEO Randall C. Stuewe. “As an integral part of the circular economy, we share Cattlemen’s Heritage’s commitment to sustainability and are proud to be part of this project that will bring significant economic benefits to the Midwest.”
