Transforming Food Waste into Animal Feed

The Herbalife distribution center in Venray (in the Netherlands) has been working with Nijsen Granico, an animal feed company that produces products solely based on waste streams from food companies. They recycle some of their products that would have otherwise gone to the waste stream by sending them to Nijsen Granico to transform them into animal feed. 

The aim of this initiative is to divert unused/expired food products and transform them in a sustainable way, into animal feed. 

Herbalife's unused/expired products from across Europe (mostly, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy) are shipped to Herbalife Nutrition Venray distribution center, where they are then picked up by their partner Nijsen Granico, which then transports them into its factory for processing.
