Daka's role and responsibilities

With safe and correct handling of by-products, we constitute
an important link in the agricultural and food production value chain.

Operation and collection

A central part of Daka's work is to support daily operations at farms, slaughterhouses and food businesses throughout Denmark.

This happens through efficient and safe collection of by-products – with the flexibility required in practice.

Collection must take place in good time and be adapted to production and logistics. At the same time, the effort must be adjustable when there are special circumstances – for example, in the event of disease outbreaks in agriculture.

The task is solved through Daka's combined structure of locations with various functions.

The regulations for the work

The handling of animal by-products is regulated by the EU Animal By-Products Regulation.

It sets out how raw materials are classified, handled and may be used. This means that the work is carried out in accordance with clear requirements for traceability, hygiene and documentation.

It is part of the framework that ensures Daka’s operations are consistent, documented and in compliance with applicable requirements.

Safety throughout the supply chain

Safety is a focal point in everything we do – from collection to the finished products.

It is about preventing disease risks for humans and animals, but just as much about creating a safe environment for all of Daka's employees.

Collaboration and local roots

Daka works closely with stakeholders in and around agriculture and food production, including trade associations and partners.

At the same time, we engage in local dialogue – with neighbours, authorities and other stakeholders – and contribute to the areas where we operate our facilities.
