Sustainable protein for the growing demand.
Protein Demand is Outstripping Supply
A growing population and developing countries eating more meat is increasing the demand for the proteins that support our food system.
The poultry and aquaculture industries are set to double in the next 25 years, creating a demand that cannot be met by traditional proteins such as soy and fishmeal.
Nature’s Warrior on Waste
Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL) are the ultimate bioconversion engine; a high value source of protein that’s used across aquaculture, poultry and pet food.
Unrivalled in the protein production world, BSFL grow 5000x their body weight in just 8 days, with minimal land and water usage.
Valuable & Sustainable Insect Products

Whole Insects
BSFL is used whole in pet food, or processed into high-protein ingredients for use in aquafeed, pet food and poultry feed.

Organic Fertiliser
Frass is a co-product of insect farming, used as a natural fertiliser to vastly improve soil health and promote plant growth.

Insect Oil
A natural by-product of insect farming, BSF oil is high in lauric acid. Used as a sustainable and antimicrobial alternative to palm oils, insect oils are now being used in cosmetics and skincare products, biodiesel and bio-lubricants.

Aquaculture
Insect proteins are a concentrated protein source that’s rendered into meal for aquaculture. Studies show that insect proteins improve immune-related enzyme activities, enhanced survival rate, increased resilience against pathogens, healthier tissues and greater growth in shrimps and prawn.

Poultry
Whole larvae and protein meal are fed to poultry to act as both enrichment and feed, improving animal welfare and behaviour, whilst providing a sustainable high protein alternative to traditional protein.

Pet Food
BSFL are used in both wet and dry pet food, consisting of high levels of amino acids and oils that provide pets with high levels of sustainable protein and nutrients.
ESG Benefits of Insect Bioconversion
Waste-to-insect projects offer significant ESG benefits by reducing the volume of organic waste by up to 75%. This moves food waste up the waste-hierarchy by turning it from a waste stream into an input stream to create more food. The combination of solving problematic waste streams and producing more sustainable proteins offers agricultural producers significant ESG benefits in their supply chains.
