What lard & animal fats is
The material itself — where it starts, what changes it, and why it still has value.
Lard is rendered pork fat, and the broader animal fat category covers mixed rendered fats from kitchens, tortilla plants, bakeries and protein processors. It arrives solid, paste-like or rendered and liquid depending on temperature and where it came off the line.
Solid fats need lined bins, drums or boxes rather than pump-out lines, and they need pickups timed so the material does not sit long enough to turn.
