Darling Ingredients has announced the retirement of Michael E Rescoe from its board of directors, effective immediately.

Rescoe, who has served on the board since 2017 and previously held a position from 2011 to 2014, has been recognised for his significant contributions to the company during a period of substantial growth and transformation.

Randall C Stuewe, chairman and CEO of Darling Ingredients, said: “Mike's significant and meaningful contributions to Darling Ingredients have helped transform our company. His extensive knowledge and experience have been instrumental in growing our business and expanding our global footprint.”

Rescoe's background spans various sectors, including finance, energy, technology and manufacturing. This diverse experience has equipped him to provide strategic guidance as Darling Ingredients navigated the complexities of the food and agriculture industries.

Under his tenure, the company has focused on sustainability and circular economy initiatives, which are increasingly relevant in today's market.

Darling Ingredients operates over 260 facilities across more than 15 countries, processing approximately 15% of the world's animal agricultural by-products. The company is also a major player in the collagen market, producing about 30% of the world's supply.

The retirement of Rescoe comes at a pivotal time for Darling Ingredients as the company continues to innovate and adapt to changing industry demands.

With growing consumer awareness around sustainability and food waste, Darling's commitment to transforming by-products into valuable ingredients positions it favourably in the evolving landscape of food and beverage manufacturing.

As the company looks to the future, it remains to be seen who will fill the vacancy left by Rescoe and how the board will continue to steer Darling Ingredients through its next phase of growth.
