The Rendering Crisis in Utah
45 Million
Pounds Wasted Annually
of animal byproducts being landfilled since facility closure. These landfilled byproducts generates 1,450 tons of Methane equating to 40,000 tons of CO₂.
40,000
Tons of Equivalent CO₂ Emitted Annually
Greenhouse gas emissions created annually from landfilled materials create a growing environmental and social cost to Utah.
$2.3-7.6 M
Annual Cost
Is the estimated social and environmental cost using EPA's metrics. A cost of $1600 per ton of Methane and $190 per ton of CO₂.
Since the closure of Utah's only independent rendering facility, the state has faced mounting environmental and economic consequences. Without proper rendering infrastructure, valuable resources are wasted while municipalities and taxpayers bear increasing disposal costs.
Environmental Impact
Current Situation
- 1,450 tons of methane emissions from landfilled byproducts
- Increased leachate contamination risks
- Wasted natural resources and nutrients
- Strain on landfill capacity
Our Solution
- Prevent 40,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually
- Resource recovery and circular economy principles
- Reduced landfill burden and environmental contamination
- Positioning Utah as a leader in agricultural sustainability

Our Phased Approach
Phase 1: Acquisition & Planning
Finalizing property acquisition, obtaining necessary permits, and developing comprehensive renovation plans with regulatory compliance at the forefront.
Phase 2: Facility Modernization
Implementing state-of-the-art technology upgrades, environmental controls, automation machinery and efficiency improvements to exceed industry standards.
Phase 3: Operational Launch
Bringing the facility online with comprehensive staff training, quality assurance protocols, and community engagement initiatives.
Phase 4: Expansion & Innovation

Strategic Alliances
Regal Point Rendering is building a robust network of strategic partnerships to maximize impact and ensure long-term success:
- Gas station franchisors for integrated fuel services
- Food manufacturers utilizing rendered products
- Agricultural cooperatives and producers
- Environmental technology providers
- Local and state government agencies
These alliances create multiple revenue streams while ensuring the facility operates as part of a broader ecosystem of sustainable businesses serving Utah's needs.
Community Benefits
Reduced Municipal Costs
Decreased landfill operational expenses and extended landfill lifespans benefit local government budgets and taxpayers directly.
Agricultural Support
Local rendering provides essential services for livestock producers, meat processors, and food manufacturers throughout Utah.
Educational Opportunities
Partnerships with technical schools and universities create learning and research opportunities in sustainable agriculture and waste management.
Beyond the direct economic impact, Regal Point Rendering will serve as a community asset, supporting Utah's agricultural heritage while demonstrating modern environmental stewardship.
Environmental Stewardship
Environmental responsibility is at the core of our business model. The revitalized facility will feature:
- Advanced odor control systems exceeding regulatory standards
- Energy-efficient processing equipment reducing carbon footprint
