Using pork fat is sustainable because it’s a waste product of meat processing, reducing landfill use and methane emissions. It has a lower land and water footprint than crops like soy or palm, but offers similar energy content. Unlike dedicated crop farming, it does not compete with food production. The GlobeCore USB plant enhances sustainability by enabling localized, low-waste biofuel production using otherwise discarded materials, promoting circular economy practices.
