Welcome to Griffin Industries

Griffin Industries is one of the largest independent, privately owned animal byproducts and bakery by-product recycling companies in North America. Founded in 1943, Griffin is a role model for recycling excellence, having embraced “going green” and ecological sustainability long before environmentalism became a household term or a corporate directive. We are committed to the future, to our world, and to our leadership in the rendering industry, continuously working to develop new products and services and to expand our geographic markets.

The rendering industry affects everything from the food we eat to the fuels that power our vehicles. If it were not for the collection and recycling efforts of renderers, mountains of organic waste materials would create an immense environmental problem along with an oppressive tax burden.

Griffin Industries collects and recycles billions of pounds of waste annually. Meat and poultry by-products, grocery scraps, used restaurant cooking oil and grease, and bakery by-products are reclaimed and recycled into a broad array of high quality recycled products. The Griffin name is synonymous with quality, safety, biosecurity and integrity in the poultry, aquaculture, livestock, pet food, industrial, chemical, petroleum, leather and fertilizer industries.
