I've taken to storing it for craft projects. Recently I had the kids fill ornaments with the poo. It was great fun!

Our makerspace shreds it all (by type of course) into flakes, but doesn't have a use for those yet unfortunately... The handful of companies recycling it are too far away. However, at some point we want to pick up an injection molding machine for it, when we have the funds.

That is, except for the PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), I just take that home and compost it.
