Producing Blends of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate and Blood Meal That Are Safe to Render [PDF]
Polymers, 2023 Single-use plastic hygiene control products used during red meat processing can have severe negative impacts on the environment and cannot be processed with offal during rendering into meat and bone meal. However, plastics made from protein could potentially solve this problem as the material would be safe to render.
