Daka – a part of the food chain

At Daka, we give nature’s resources back – safely, sustainably, and value-creating. We have been doing this for many years, and as a result, we have become an integrated and essential part of the food chain.

Daka consists of four business areas in Denmark, all specialized in the collection, safe handling and recycling of by-products from agriculture and the food industry. We use these by-products in the production of sustainable quality products within feed ingredients, fertilizers, and renewable energy products such as biofuel and biodiesel.

The company consists of:

Daka SecAnim, which produces fat for biodiesel, meat and bone meal for biofuel, and fertilizer from animal by-products

Daka SARVAL,  which produces feed ingredients from slaughterhouse by-products.

Daka ReFood, which produces biopulp from food waste

Daka ecoMotion, which produces 2G biodiesel from fat derived from animal by-products

Although Daka is one of the country’s largest recycling companies, the gap between idea and action is small. With initiative and good ideas, we can together contribute to business and each other’s development. Out employees and their inputs are indispensable!

Daka values

At Daka Denmark, we give back nature’s resources

Safety, sustainably, and value-creating

Our business foundation is based on acting safely. We are an integral part of the veterinary emergency response, where we minimize the risk of disease spread.

Additionally, we maintain a safe and healthy work environment where we take responsibility for our actions.

At Daka, we have been sustainable long before it became trendy. We return nature’s resources, and we always have. What others call waste, we call raw materials, and our primary task is to ensure that everything is utilized in the most value-creating and efficient manner.

We continuously strive to create value by providing the best customer service, being competitive, and adapting our business to the rapidly changing market conditions experienced by the industry. Each of us contributes value by continually developing ourselves.
