Environmental Commitment:

Waste Elimination, Reduction and Recycling

Environment pollution – an occupational hazard for many meat-processing plants - is controlled at Burrangong by sophisticated systems ensuring no odours are released from the plant. All waste is used, even to the extent of Lucerne farming with wastewater. 100 acres adjacent to the plant currently under crop provides all Burrangong’s holding feed requirements. Burrangong is even able to sell its surplus requirements.

Burrangong has a very good environmental record having already reached the highest standard on load-based licensing. It has sound working relations with both the local Shire Council and the NSW Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Independent environmental assessments rate Burrangong’s environmental management plans covering odour and noise control, and water effluent and waste disposal as more than sufficient to meet EPA and community standards.
