What we do

At West Coast Reduction, ‘nothing’ is important to us. Because when there’s nothing left - that’s when we’ve done our job. We collect food waste and by-products from food producers, like farms, restaurants and supermarkets, transforming them in ingredients used in renewable energy, animal feed, and thousands of other products we use every day. Our efforts contribute to a sustainable local food supply, and help us all live in cleaner and healthier communities.

A VITAL Service

While insects, birds, and animals provide a natural cleanup service, humans create more waste streams than nature can take care of. That’s where rendering comes in.  As an intergral part of a sustainable local food chain, rendering keeps energy in the system by creating high value products from materials that would be otherwise sent to land fill or compost.  

Using innovative thinking, progressive processes, and modern facilities, we recycle inedible food by-products and create products such as protein meals and fats which are then sold to customers worldwide. 

Food Waste Hierarchy

The US Environmental Protection Agency created the Food Waste Hierarchy to prioritize actions companies can take to prevent & divert wasted food. Each tier focuses on different food recovery strategies & the top levels of the hierarchy create the most benefits for the environment, society and the economy. 

Our service provides the highest value for pre-consumer food and meat by-product that are not fit for human cosumption.
