About the Australian Renderers Association
The Australian Renderers Association (ARA) is the national industry body for Australia’s rendering industry and used cooking oil recycling sector. ARA members play an important role in a more sustainable and circular economy, converting animal co-products from the meat processing sector that are not suitable for human consumption, along with used cooking oil, into valuable products for feed, fuel and industry.
