From a problem to an opportunity
Converting biowaste into value
Explore a new exciting opportunity for biowaste recycling: a solution that upcycles any substrate to higher quality products, such as protein feed for animals and fertilizer with less cost, simpler operations and lower investments, even at small scale.
Manna Insect has worked already on tens of biowaste recycling cases around the world with this novel approach.
BSF · The opportunity
A new way to convert biowaste back to value
For farms and food businesses, hotels and waste handlers, municipalities planning a local solution and entrepreneurs ready to build something new.
The new approach is to use black soldier fly (BSF) larvae. They grow on any organic material, eat fast and can then be used as feed for animals and the manure (frass) as fertilizer. BSF larvae has been already used for decades in developing countries, but now the process and technology has matured for industrial use.

New income opportunities
Biogas produces energy. Composting produces a soil improver. BSF opens another opportunity: insect protein, bio oil and fertilizier. Sales can help offset recycling costs and create new income.
-
Start small, plan to grow
BSF based approach has significant benefits compared to biogas and composting as it can be started at small scale, footprint and investments, and scales modularly.
-
Built and run locally
No more need to haul biowaste tens or hundreds of kilometers as the conversion facility can be built locally and near the source. This saves environment and costs and brings jobs to local people.
