Description
Meat and bone meal can be used in animal husbandry, aquaculture, pet food, feed industry, and organic fertilizer production. This dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction are not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory data were sourced from literature and optimized based on the best available information for 2022. The process of collecting animal fats and oils and converting them into biodiesel includes steps such as oil extraction, impurity removal, transesterification, separation, and post-treatment, with meat and bone meal being a by-product of this process.
