Techno-economic assessment of collagen casings waste management
Maroušek, J.; Maroušková, A.; Myšková, K.; Váchal, J.; Vochozka, M. & Žák, J.
Abstract
Regarding the price of meat product filling in
comparison with the negligible cost of the collagen casings,
whole roll of the casings is discharged only on suspicion of
a small cut during handling. Once the casings are designed
to be biologically resistant, they represent relatively problematic
waste that is nowadays rather transported to landfills.
This represents a significant cost; once the role is
opened, it becomes extremely voluminous. The long-term
study that was carried out on a commercial scale assessed
two methods of utilization: composting of highly disintegrated
casings and composting of charred casings. Robust
qualitative and financial analysis revealed that the composting
of charred casings was more meaningful both from
agrochemical and financial point of view.
