For over 200 years we have supported the human consumption meat processing industry by further processing the animal co-products into edible meat fractions, feed ingredients for livestock, companion animals and fish as well as manufacturing pharmaceutical ingredients, edible tallow as well as tallow for soap, cosmetics and biofuels.
These valuable commodities are highly sought after both domestically and internationally.
Until 2013 the top student of each Accreditation workshop was determined by their academic score.
In 2014 the directors decided to introduce an award to recognise the outstanding student of each course, who are assessed on a number of criteria by the presenters of the course. The criteria are not based on academic ability but a range of attributes relevant to the role of rendering operations.
In 2018 the Association decided to name the Award after honarary life member, the late Mr Reginald Evans, an industry stalwart since the formation of the Association and a major supporter of the accreditation course.
