Tyson Seeks Profit Streams From Animal Parts

Tyson Foods has emerged as the world’s largest supplier of beef, chicken and pork even though its products use little more than 50 percent of its animal parts. Tyson is developing renewable products for personal care and nutracentrics to bioplastics, biomedical devices and super absorbents. Many absorbent materials are manufactured from just feathers alone. One of Tyson’s by-products is over 1 billion pounds of feathers per year. This niche that Tyson is creating will add additional inventory to the catalogues of online Absorbents companies.
