What types of packaging does PEPITO use?
It depends on the product and the size of your order. To give you an idea, here is a typical packaging method based on shipment size and product type:
Rendered animal fats:
- Small packages – for these, we most often choose 60- or 120-liter plastic drums certified for food contact, but other packaging can be selected by agreement. This packaging is typically chosen by customers in the cosmetics and chemical industries.
- 210-liter steel drums (approx. 175 kg) – chosen by customers using the fat for technical purposes.
- IBC containers – the happy medium for customers who need several hundred kilograms or a few tons of fat. This packaging is chosen, for example, by smaller feed manufacturers.
- Tank trucks – ideal for large feed and biofuel manufacturers.
Animal meal:
- Big bag – a truck can be fully loaded with them (approx. 24 tons), but we also supply individual bags if you need a smaller volume, such as 6 tons, etc.
- Tilt-top trailer (open-top, capacity approx. 24 tons) – ideal for larger deliveries, for example, to organic fertilizer manufacturers.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For processed animal proteins, our standard MOQ is 1 ton (one Big Bag), and for rendered animal fats, it is 50 kg (typically for cosmetics manufacturers), but we also offer smaller trial orders for your test production. We provide bulk deliveries to pet food and biofuel manufacturers, as well as small orders for cosmetics manufacturers.
Do you use preservatives and other additives in the production of fats?
We use no chemicals when processing fat - we heat it with steam (wet rendering) and then centrifuge the mixture. We never use preservatives. Antioxidants are added only at the customer's request, and only for pet food products.
