Meat Processing and Packaging

---

 In meat processing and packaging waste materials can account for up to 35 percent of total production. The separation of products from waste through out the process is crucial to maximize the product recovered and reducing the amount of waste. By implementing cleaner processing in production areas and reducing wastes through pollution prevention measures, increased yields can provide both economic and environmental benefits. Since these products in each phase of a meat packing and processing plant are subject to spoilage and decay, water can play a large roll in maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of harmful bacteria and molds, Water recovery and treatment can also address many of the odor problems typically found in a processing plant environment
