Fig. 4: Simplified section of Heyvaert with an indication of major flows and stocks. In addition to shipping these secondhand<br />

cars for reuse in the global South (Claudel & Scohier, 2014), it is common practice to fill them with secondhand<br />

mattresses, refrigerators, and other electronic equipment such as TV screens and mobile phones (Rosenfeld, 2013).<br />

Regarding the slaughterhouse, the data on waste is based on Destrycker (2015) and on our own research. From all animal<br />

waste, including blood, fat, bones, etc. (4,000 tons/year), 80% is sold to RENDAC, a brand of DARLING INGREDIENTS<br />

INC. that converts inedible animal leftovers into usable and specialty ingredients that are sold to the pharmaceutical,<br />

food, feed, fuel, biomass, and fertilizer industries worldwide. Animal skin is processed separately by GEEROMS CUIRS,<br />

a local enterprise that exports the cattle and sheep hides and pig and goat skin to Italy and Turkey, where they are<br />

turned into leather and re-imported. Market leftovers (around 1,000 tons of organic waste/year) are partly transported<br />

to Quevy for waste2energy, while most of it is normally collected by the market itself and donated to individuals or nonprofit<br />

organizations, 1010 architecture urbanism (based on .FABRIC, ULB, Circle Economy), 2017.
