Zero waste poultry processing plant opens in Singapore

The new Nanyang Technical University Singapore (NTU Singapore) poultry processing plant repurposes waste byproducts into sustainable packaging alternatives and nutrients for cultivated meat products.

The facility is the first zero waste poultry processing plant in Singapore. It is the result of a research collaboration agreement between Nanyang Technical University, Singapore and poultry producer Leong Hup Singapore that was signed in March 2022.

“Being one of Singapore and Malaysia’s main poultry suppliers, it’s important to future-proof the company’s practices, while also raising our sustainability profile.
