Meatco

Meatco specializes in the development and implementation of innovative animal by-product processing systems aimed at achieving a 'Zero Waste' policy. The company focuses on efficient use and re-use of natural resources, responding to the rising worldwide demand for pork, beef, poultry, and other livestock, projected to double by 2030. As prices for fish and meat increase, customers seek better quality at lower prices. Acknowledging that livestock production contributes about 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Meatco aims to enhance the efficiency and yield of meat and fat recovery systems, particularly since significant food-grade meat remains on bones post-deboning despite existing mechanical methods. The company leverages innovative technologies and sustainable practices to derive nutritious proteins, fats, and emulsions from animal tissue, integrating these into new formulations for meat and fish products. Through bioengineering of enzymes and microorganisms, Meatco develops new processing techniques and products from animal raw materials, exploring renewable resources like polymers and nutrients for fermentation. All these advancements are tested and explored within Meatco's pilot programs.
