In fact, one processing plant even reported a greater than 50 percent reducƟon in poly count. Through this project, Hurley has found a biodegradable, renderable, safe polymer that can be used as a liner that does not clog, plug, increase poly count, or contaminate meal. The new liners are overwhelmingly preferred by drivers, client store managers, and rendering plant managers. The biodegradable liners reduce water and labor usage and perhaps even odor. In addiƟon to funding from FPRF, two rendering companies supported this project through technical assistance and the purchase of liners. Hurley is currently working on a second project to develop gloves from the biodegradable polymer for use in meat and poultry processing plants and is looking for processing companies willing to parƟcipate in the project using the gloves. Gloves frequently become incorporated in raw materials and use of the biodegradable material that can be rendered will improve animal by-product quality. The biodegradable material is already approved by the Food and Drug AdministraƟon for food contact. Hurley is working with a glove manufacturer to develop different styles of gloves from the biodegradable material. Reduction of polyethylene in the raw material stream will greatly improve finished animal by-products. Use of a corn-based polymer that is fully degradable to a starch product will be of great benefit to the industry. Hurley has successfully met the challenge posed to him by the rendering industry.
