Packer and leather group Tyson has announced that six of its plants have achieved gold-level certification from US-based certification body UL for having achieved zero waste to landfill.

Tyson’s plants at Newbern, and Obion County (both Tennessee), Nashville and Hope (both Arkansas), Albany, Kentucky, and Camilla, Georgia, achieved the certification in recognition of their success in reducing the volume of by-products from their meat production and in putting remaining by-products to good use.
