IRVING, Texas, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Darling
Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR) ("Darling") – Darling Ingredients has
been announced as one of the 50 Sustainability and Climate Leaders
by Bloomberg and TBD Media Group. This campaign gives a voice to
sustainable creators that meet the challenges our planet is facing
today with developed solutions that will shape our society going
forward. Top minds in sustainability seek better ways to meet the
growing demands of the world, while reducing the carbon emissions
needed to produce products and minimizing the impact on our
environment. As demand on natural resources rise, with more mouths
to feed and higher demand for transportation energy, Darling
identifies as one of the sustainable creators and is driven to
increase efforts to improve climate change.
"Darling is the original recycler," said Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO, Darling
Ingredients Inc. "We are the company that for over a century has
been collecting the residuals from our food industry destined to be
left out on the field to decay or put into a landfill. Darling
converts these waste streams into sustainable products, extending
the useful life of these organic nutrients, thereby reducing stress
on our environment and improving the quality of the air we
breathe."
The videos highlighting the 50 Sustainability and Climate
Leaders reveal sustainability efforts and ingenuity to preserve
natural resources. Darling's highlight video features its 139-year
history of converting waste streams from the agri-food industry
into ingredients for health, nutrients and bioenergy. It also
follows the process of producing renewable diesel fuel. Starting at
a Wingstop restaurant location, they follow the used cooking oil to
the Diamond Green Diesel production facility where the refined
waste oil is converted into cleaner-burning renewable fuel. Next
highlighted is EnviroFlight, a Darling business line that is
innovating a new means of alternative protein production using
black soldier fly larvae for sustainable animal feed and pet
food.
