Meat, Seafood & Poultry

The meat, poultry, and seafood industries use water in nearly every step of production. Regardless of whether the final product is fresh, cured, frozen, or cooked, the process results in a lot of wastewater, which is often difficult to treat. ​Production is becoming more expensive as prices for feed, energy, and land continue to rise. Environmental regulations are stricter than ever before, challenging slaughterhouses, rendering plants, and processing plants to comply with discharge limits while still earning a profit.
