Zero-waste meat processing plant launched in Kostanay

Meat-processing plant, which creates a waste-free and environmentally friendly production, was launched in Kostanay, World of NAN reports referring to kazpravda.kz.

The new enterprise will provide its products not only to the people of Kazakhstan, but also to foreign consumers. Construction of the plant cost 7.2 billion tenge.

A full production cycle is set up at the plant. First of all, it is slaughtering of livestock. Capacity of the enterprise allows slaughtering of more than 1.5 thousand cattle per day. Then the meat is sent to the processing shop, from where it is already output in the form of semi-finished products.

Several meat products are produced at the factory. They include vacuum-packed meat, by-products, as well as hides, horns and hooves.

However, they are not planning to make goods from animal hides themselves. It is all about primary processing for further export. And there are already customers lining up.

Potential buyer for other types of products of the factory is also determined. Firstly, it is planned to cover the needs of the region and Kazakhstan, and then export the meat to Russia, China, Arab Emirates, Turkey and Pakistan.

Kostanay meat-processing complex is unique not only in the region, but in the whole country. Zero waste production is established here. Eco-friendliness is one of the distinctive features of the enterprise. The waste, which is mostly thrown away in the dump, will be recycled here. For example, it is planned to make bone meal from bones and use it to make ready-made products, such as forage for dogs.

In addition, incinerators, that is furnaces in which the waste not going into recycling is incinerated, are installed on the territory of the plant. There is also a system of sewage treatment. This means that everything that the plant has that, roughly speaking, "goes down the drain" is environmentally friendly.

Kostanay meat factory has confirmed the certification of "halal". The cattle, which are planned to be brought from seven regions of the country, will be slaughtered mechanically, and even animal blood will go into production.

"Almost everything in the body of the cow will be processed. Only a few skull bones will remain for disposal. Blood during the slaughter of cattle is planned to be pumped into special tanks, where it will go through several stages of purification. Then it will be used in several directions: for the production of meat and bone meal components, fodder for fur-bearing animals. It can also be exported. But this is in the short term, - said Nikolay Bochanov, the deputy director of the enterprise. 

In the future there are plans to build several more full-fledged plants on the territory of the plant. In particular, a plant for the production of bone meal and products from it, as well as a plant for processing hides.
