# Department foots €20m bone and meat disposal bill -  Free

> The Irish Department of Agriculture will spend €20m this year developing new disposal routes for about 60,000 tonnes of meat and bone meal produced annually by rendering. Ireland's MBM was traditionally exported to the UK, but that outlet has closed, and a temporary post-Brexit derogation continues only while domestic alternatives are set up.

## Why it matters

Loss of the UK export outlet for MBM raises domestic disposal costs and removes a supply channel for rendered protein, which could tighten or reshape local feed-protein availability.
