~~'''~~Animal By-~~products'''~~ (ABP) are animal carcasses, parts of animals, or other materials which come from animals but are not meant for humans to eat. They can either be destroyed (i.e. through [[Incineration]]<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/guidance/animal-by-products-how-to-burn-them-at-an-incinerator-site Guidance on ABP Requirements for [[Incineration]]]</ref>) or can be used to make compost in a [[Composting]] facility or [[Biogas]] in an [[Anaerobic Digestion]] facility or can be used to make other products such as [[MBM]].

If the site treats Category 3 ABPs or Category 2 ABPs (that have first been pressure rendered at an approved site) then EU standards for treatment must be met, which also applies to [[MBT]] sites where compost is used on or over land.
