About the company
Sanimax collects organic waste from agri-food by-products, such as used cooking oil, meat by-products, and on-farm deadstock, from over 25,000 clients across the Americas. Through rendering, it converts these materials into industrial ingredients used in animal nutrition and agriculture. The company operates its own logistics network to create a stable supply chain and uses sustainability measures like biofiltration to reduce environmental impact. Sanimax differentiates itself by being family-owned with a large, nationwide collection footprint and by repurposing waste at scale to support a circular economy. Its goal is to turn millions of tons of by-products that would otherwise go to landfills into useful resources, helping reduce waste and promote greener manufacturing in the agri-food sector.
