| Meat and bone meal (MBM) is a powdered material
that is made from meat and meat products drawn from high street
butchers, supermarkets, abattoirs, slaughterhouses and pet food
makers. The materials that go into it have been subject to the Government's
established stringent tests to ensure that they are BSE-free. |
|
| MBM is produced by sterilising meats and
bones to produce a material which looks like tea leaves. This process
makes it as safe as the soil in your garden. It is blended to a
tight specification which is agreed with the Environment Agency.
|
|
| MBM is categorised as 'carbon neutral' (click
here to find out more) by the Government which means that they
see it as a material, which can be used without adding to greenhouse
gas levels. For us at Lafarge it is a great material to use as a
fuel as it has a high energy content and is a good replacement for
coal. |
