Advanced wastewater treatment systems. Recognizing the environmental challenges posed by meat processing, Marel offers tailored solutions that not only ensure compliance with stringent regulations but also promote sustainability.

In the Philippines, May Harvest Corporation’s partnership with Marel led to the establishment of a pioneering wastewater treatment plant. This facility, the first of its kind in the country, incorporates innovative concepts like fish living in clarifiers to demonstrate water quality and the reuse of treated water for irrigation and cleaning purposes. Such initiatives have enabled May Harvest to reduce water consumption per bird from 18 liters to as low as 9 liters, showcasing Marel’s commitment to resource efficiency .marel.com

Marel’s comprehensive approach includes primary to tertiary treatments, ensuring that wastewater is effectively managed and can even be repurposed within the processing cycle. By integrating these systems, slaughterhouses not only mitigate environmental impact but also achieve operational efficiencies. Marel’s dedication to sustainable practices positions it as a key partner for food processors aiming to balance productivity with ecological responsibility.
