Sanimax is a pioneer in the circular economy, transforming organic waste into valuable industrial ingredients for over 85 years. Since 1939, this family-owned company has repurposed more than 2 million tons of agri-food by-products annually across the Americas, operating 17 facilities with a network of over 40,000 client sites. Their operations divert massive quantities of organic materials from landfills, generating five times fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional disposal methods.
With 2,000+ employees across Canada, the United States, and Brazil, Sanimax has established itself as a leader in the rendering industry. Their three-step process - Reclaim, Renew, and Return - transforms used cooking oils, animal by-products, and organic materials into high-quality ingredients for animal nutrition, pet food, biofuels, and everyday products like paints and lubricants. This sustainable approach not only supports the food chain but also creates value from materials that would otherwise be waste.
