About animal fats, unrendered

cpc code 2151 covers the production and processing of animal fats that have not undergone rendering. These unrendered animal fats are an important raw material for a variety of industries, including food manufacturing, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants. As a key component in many consumer and commercial products, the animal fats industry plays a vital role in the broader economy.

Production process

The production of unrendered animal fats typically involves the collection of fat trimmings and other fatty animal byproducts from slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities. These raw materials are then cleaned, filtered, and sometimes chilled or frozen to preserve their quality and freshness before being packaged and distributed to downstream users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the animal fats industry include the fatty animal byproducts collected from meat processing operations, as well as equipment and machinery for fat collection, cleaning, and packaging. Specialized storage and transportation infrastructure is also necessary to ensure the fats are delivered to customers in optimal condition.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the animal fats industry are the unrendered fats themselves, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries. These include 2044 Shortening and cooking oils, 2045 Animal and marine fats and oils, and 3251 Soap and other detergents, among others. The animal fats produced under cpc code 2151 serve as important ingredients and raw materials for these downstream sectors.
