As NARA's 2026 Congressional Fly-In comes to a close, we want to thank the Members of Congress, Senators, Representatives, and congressional staff who took the time to meet with our members this week.

Over the course of the Fly-In, NARA members visited more than 200 congressional offices on Capitol Hill to share the story of rendering and discuss issues important to our industry. We also extend our sincere thanks to Congressman Tracey Mann, Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, Congressman Jim Baird and everyone who joined us at our Congressional Reception.

Our members greatly value the time, engagement, and support they receive from their elected officials. We appreciate their continued commitment to policies that support renderers and recognize the essential role the rendering industry plays in advancing sustainability, reducing waste, and strengthening the circular economy.

Thank you to Congressman Tracey Mann for joining NARA members at last night's Congressional Fly-In Reception and for sharing his remarks with attendees.

We were honored to present Congressman Mann with the inaugural NARA Congressional Champion of the Rendering Industry Award in recognition of his leadership and steadfast support of the rendering industry.

Congressman Mann has been a strong advocate for agriculture, and the critical role renderers play in supporting a circular economy. We are grateful for his continued commitment to advancing policies that benefit our industry.

Rendering is a global enterprise!

Exports of U.S. rendered products provide animal protein meals, fats and oils for livestock, poultry, aquaculture and pet food production around the world. These fats and oils are also used overseas as feedstock for biofuel production and ingredients for a host of industrial and consumer products.
