A leer sent by “snail mail” brought a flash from the past recently – a copy of the December 1975 cover of Render. The individual who sent it received the magazine 40 years ago as an employee of a large rendering company and he wished to restart his subscription all these years later. Of course we signed him right up! The feature in that parcular issue so long ago was “economic review,” which today is called the “market report” and highlighted in every April issue. The cover image of an old calculator and handwrien bank checks piqued this editor’s interest about what the industry was facing four decades earlier. Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to unearth a copy here at Render’s offices. Editor Frank Burnham’s words depicted 1975 as “perhaps the most tumultuous and trying in the history of the US rendering industry.” Adjecves used by industry insiders to describe that year included “uncertain,” “disappoinng,” and “dismal.” Besides a struggling consumer economy, the cost of doing business for renderers jumped 20 to 30 percent – mostly due to new air and water regulaons – Asian markets “went to pot” while other foreign markets floundered, and production dropped significantly. Prices for tallow were as low as 11½ cents per pound while meat and bone meal dropped to $125 per ton. On the plus side, domesc consumpon of tallow was the highest it had been in almost 30 years. Fast forward 40 years and renderers seemed to be challenged once again. Fat prices are down 50 percent from their highs just four years ago, export markets have declined, and West Coast renderers are losing fat and bone material to a new “food waste” movement. Average prices for tallow were 26 cents per pound while meat and bone meal was $368 per ton. On the bright side, demand for rendered products remains high, raw material supplies are on the upswing due to heavier livestock animals, and renderers remain united to bale the challenges coming their way. So whether it is 1975 or 2015, the trials and tribulaons of rendering will continue and Render will be here to cover it all.

That same fat could also benefit 1.3 million pounds of commercial animal feed, at a four percent inclusion rate. Dr. Douglas Hepper, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), informed PCRA members that several companies have approached the department seeking approval to process retail meat material using an enzyma c process to produce a liquid organic fer lizer. One company, California Safe Soils, was given permission to proceed as a research project. “This is just the p of the iceberg because of new state organic waste laws,” Hepper warned. Several renderers voiced their concerns that CDFA is not protec ng the rendering process more to ensure the safety of animal health in the state.

Ridley Bestwick, West Coast Reducon (WCR), shared the Canadian renderer’s challenge with food waste disposal north of the border. Just as in California, there is also a movement in Calgary, Alberta, toward removing organics from landfills. This has resulted in waste collecon companies allowing vegetable and meat products to be placed in the same collecon bin, which then goes for composting or anaerobic digestion. Because of this, WCR lost a 30-year customer and 500 million pounds in bone and fat annually as it was easier for the grocery chain to put all food waste product, including meat, into one bin than to separate the material. “Waste management companies are targeting our customers,” Bestwick declared. “Bone and fat accounts will connue to erode unless renderers come up with a soluon.” Incoming PCRA President Doug Smith (left), Baker WCR is examining depackaging systems and dry and wet Commodities, presents a plaque to outgoing president digesters in an effort to retain these types of accounts.

Although California biodiesel producers have the home-field advantage, the market created by the LCFS is so attractive that we are competing with massive imports of biofuels from other states and countries. This is a struggle for the en re industry, not just California. The volumes of biofuels coming in from Argen na, Singapore, Korea, and dozens of other countries are staggering. Many of these countries enjoy an addi onal advantage in their home country that allow delivery into the United States at lower costs, driving down the value for US product and over-satura ng the market. These countries are doing this for a very logical reason. Manufacturing is very healthy for an economy. It is widely known that manufacturing has the highest mul plier effect of any other sector of an economy. Out of every other industry, manufacturing provides more indirect benefits to society at a rate that is double, triple, or even quadruple the direct benefits provided by the facility. Although there are only a handful of commercial biodiesel plants in California, there are many more feedstock

California is way ahead of the game in understanding that greenhouse gas emissions must be curbed. Yet according to the latest data from CARB, of the nearly 277 million gallons of diesel alternatives consumed in California, only 12 percent came from in-state producers. Californians are enjoying the environmental benefits of the LCFS program, but the vast majority of the economic benefit is being enjoyed by South America, Asia, and other parts of the United States.
California Biofuels Initiative For the past year, CBA leadership has been working closely with other biofuels on a proposal to allocate $210 million from California’s Greenhouse Gas Reducon Fund proceeds to incenvize in-state production of low carbon biofuels. Governor Brown has a goal of reducing petroleum use in the state by 20 percent by 2030, which everyone agrees is a lo y goal. Yet last year at this me, not a single dollar from the fund was allocated to specifically incenvize the in-state producon of biofuels. As a result, California is way behind where it should be in the manufacturing sector and with its infrastructure. The state is leaving a lot of money on the table by exporng the economic benefits back to the producing state or country. This is an important point considering that 90 percent of compliance under the LCFS program is coming from biofuels and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund is largely coming from petroleum sector funds. There is a strong nexus that supports an allocaon to petroleum replacement fuels. The Biofuels Iniave is meant to correct that. Because of efforts, the governor has allocated $25 million to the iniave and CARB announced it would earmark $40 million from its $50-million-dollar pot. So we are about a third of the way there. A delegation from CBA recently conducted legislave visits at the state capitol explaining that while the industry appreciates the efforts made so far, it needs a larger allocaon. That message was well received and CBA expects a good showing of support during this year’s budgeng process.
