Animal by-products - Origin

• Animal by-products (animal by-products) are whole
  animal
• bodies, animal body parts, or products of animal
  origin, as
• defined by Articles 4, 5 and 6 of the Regulation
  (EC) No.
• 1774/2002, that are not intended for human
  consumption.
• Animal by-products originate, among other
  sources, from
• Slaughter
• Meat processing
• Dairy processing
• Retail food trade (formerly food of animal
  origin)
• Restaurants, catering establishments as well as
  industrial and household kitchens (kitchen waste
  and leftovers of animal origin)
• Agriculture.

Selected animal by-products of category 1

• All these materials come from risk areas
• All body parts from animals suspected of being
  infected by TSE ( Transmissible Spongiform
  Encephalopathy)
• Pet animals, zoo animals, circus animals
• Experimental animals and animals used for other
  scientific purposes
• Wild animals when suspected of being infected
  with communicable diseases
• Specific risk materials (SRM)
• All animal materials collected when treating
  wastewater from Category 1 processing plants
• Catering waste from means of transport operating
  internationally

5
Selected animal by-products of category 2

• These materials do not come from risk sectors but
  are of an
• origin that may be subject to animal epidemics or
  contamination
• as well as animal by-products that do not come
  directly from
• food production or that reveal defects.
• Manure and digestive tract contents
• All animal materials collected when treating
  wastewater (e.g., from slaughterhouses)
• Animal products containing drugs
• Animals or animal parts that do not fall into
  category 1 and are not slaughtered for human
  consumption (diseased animals, animal epidemics,
  etc.)
• Colostrums and milk unfit for consumption (e.g.,
  containing inhibitors)
• Floatation sludge or pressure filter residue from
  fattening and slaughter operations
• Liquid and solid manure

6
Selected animal by-products of category 3

• These materials were basically fit for human
  consumption
• or resulted from processes that do not give any
  indications
• of communicable diseases.
• Body parts of slaughtered animals
• Blood, skin, hooves, feathers, wool, horns, hair
  and hides of animals, with no clinical
  indications of communicable diseases
• Bones and greaves
• Blood from animals other than ruminants that were
  slaughtered in a slaughterhouse
• Kitchen waste and leftovers (including left-over
  vegetable oils), which are assigned to biogas
  facilities or composting
• Former foodstuffs of animal origin
• Milk and milk products as well as waste and
  by-products from dairies and cheese-making
  operations
• Egg shells

Limitation of utilization (Art. 22) EU
Directive 1774/2002

• Feeding of one species with treated animal
  proteine of the same species
• Feeding of farm animals with kitchen- and food
  waste
• Deployment of organic fertilizers on grassland
  (besides liquid manure)

8
Consequences utilization possibilities

• Future Separation of flows of material regarding
  species and categories and circuit

fat
Chemical industry
meal
incineration
Slaughter
9
Separation at municipal level

• mixed material is always Categorie 1 material
• Categorie 3 material can only be provided at
  collection points when slot in container is
  supervised
• no separation between Categorie 1 and Categorie 2
  material (efficiency)

10
Example of Collection vehicle with 2 compartments
Red container - hazardous
Categorie 3
Categories 1 and (2) - SRM
11
Example for Costs of collection systems

• Container pickup
• Collection of small containers
• pickup of carcass

Animal by-products in processed form (animal meal
and animal fat)

• Animal by-products of Categories 1 and 2 are, if
  animal meal and animal fat are produced,
  processed under high-pressure sterilisation.
• Animal meal and animal fat of Category 1 are
  disposed of in waste incineration plants, thermal
  power stations or cement plants in order to use
  the energy content.
• Apart from incineration, animal meal and animal
  fat of Category 3 can also be processed in
  recovery or in biogas plants.
