Today is National Set A Good Example Day – so we’re challenging you to set a good example in the reduction of our nation’s food waste. While the rendering process reduces food waste on a large scale, there are also steps that each of us can take in our daily lives to reduce our own household food waste. Whether it be freezing, pickling, dehydrating, or canning, there are countless ways to ensure we get the most out of our unused ingredients before they’re discarded and sent to landfills, so we challenge you to set a good example by getting creative with leftovers! #NationalSetAGoodExampleDay #FoodWasteSustainability

Did you know that the average rendering plant provides close to 100 stable jobs?
