CEF Group, Israeli firm to convert slaughterhouse wastes into fish food
The CEF Group, an organization dedicated to waste management, has partnered with the Halman-Aldubi Group (an Israeli company with expertise in finance, energy, climate and technology management solutions) to turn slaughterhouse waste into protein-rich food for fish.
A media release said that this partnership between CEF Group and Halman-Aldubi Group will ensure implementation of slaughterhouse waste management in India in line with India and Israel’s commitment towards sustainability and innovation.
The primary objective of this collaboration is to provide a valuable and environmentally friendly solution to the use of slaughterhouse waste.
Committed to global challenges
Quoting CEF Group Founder and CEO Maninder Singh in a statement he said: “The collaboration between the CEF Group and the Halman-Aldubi Group demonstrates our shared commitment to addressing global challenges in waste management, environmental sustainability, and production of high quality fish feed.”
If not properly managed, slaughterhouse waste can have adverse effects on the environment resulting in soil pollution, water pollution, bad smell, air pollution and disease transmission, ultimately affecting the growth of the industry. Therefore, the CEF group is bringing forward this joint initiative to responsibly handle and manage slaughterhouse waste and mitigate these environmental and health concerns, Singh said.
The statement said that the Hallman Al Dobby Group will ensure that the converted fish feed meets the nutritional requirements for optimal growth and health of the fish. One notable aspect of this collaboration is the advanced technology used in the conversion process.
Ronnie Hallman, Chairman of the Hallman Dobby Group, said: “This pioneering technology uses a steam process to sterilize the inputs while ensuring a process free of combustion or contamination. Moreover, the optimization of the plant design allows for the establishment of a 60-ton per day input feeding plant on an area of only 300 square meters.
The plant can be set up inside the slaughterhouses, which increases efficiency and convenience. Slaughterhouse waste can be used in various processes such as anaerobic digestion, enzymatic hydrolysis, transformation, insect biotransformation, microbial fermentation, and algal cultivation. From waste reduction, recycling, conserving resources and reducing environmental impact to improving fish health and nutrition and cost-effective and sustainable feed production, this initiative can make a groundbreaking change.”
The CEF Group and the Halman-Aldubi Group have also been working on possibilities to export the resulting products to foreign developed countries, ensuring export quality materials. The statement added that this not only contributes to reducing waste and preserving resources, but also creates economic opportunities and enhances international cooperation.
