Renderers and meat processors can sell animal tallow and chicken fat in India to biodiesel manufacturers via BioTradX.

What is sold

Beef or mixed tallow, chicken tallow, and related rendered fats. FFA and titre matter. This is not used cooking oil and should never be listed as UCO.

Who generates tallow

Rendering units attached to meat processing, poultry processing, and some hide processors. Volume is regional around processing belts.

Buyer needs

Biodiesel plants running high-FFA processes can take tallow. They will ask for a fatty-acid profile or at least FFA and moisture. Keep lots segregated.
