EU Regulation 1069/2009 - Summary and savings potential
In the modern meat processing industry, the handling of animal by-products is a critical issue that affects not only the environment, but also public and animal health. EU Regulation 1069/2009 plays a central role in this by laying down clear guidelines for the safe collection, transportation, processing, use and disposal of these products.
What is EU Regulation 1069/2009
EU Regulation 1069/2009 is a key piece of legislation that regulates the safe handling of animal by-products (ABP) in the European Union. It categorizes ABPs into three risk levels and specifies how they must be collected, transported, processed, used or disposed of in order to protect public health and the environment. This regulation aims to minimize the risk of spreading disease while ensuring that valuable resources are used responsibly. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for all those involved in the animal production and processing chain. The categories are:
Category 1: Material with the highest risk, including ABP from animals suffering from communicable diseases.
Category 2: Material of lower risk that is not suitable for consumption, e.g. certain slaughterhouse waste.
Category 3: Material that poses the lowest risk and can be used for specific purposes, such as the production of animal feed.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR SAVINGS
The future of the meat processing industry will be strongly characterized by the further development of technological possibilities and an increased focus on sustainability and environmental protection. Companies that proactively implement the requirements of EU Regulation 1069/2009 and are at the forefront of this movement will not only be on the safe side from a regulatory perspective, but will also position themselves as industry leaders in terms of sustainability and responsibility. One of these technologies is KATMA CleanControl: the fully automated truck load compartment cleaning system not only revolutionizes the sustainability and cleanliness standard of load compartment cleaning, but also offers the opportunity for significant financial savings.
