Waste Management
Build a sustainable and circular food chain while creating new revenue
Insect bioconversion enables waste management companies to transform organic waste from the agricultural and food industries into local and low-carbon animal feed and pet food, as well as an organic fertiliser to restore soil health and grow more plants.
Create Food Circularity
Black soldier fly larvae eat almost any organic waste and the bioconversion process can reduce volumes of food waste (e.g. fruit and vegetable residue, brewers grain or ground coffee) by up to 75%.
Generate New Revenue
Our insect plants offer valuable new revenue streams for waste management companies such as insect protein for animal feed and pet food, and other valuable co-products including oils and fertiliser.
Enhance Food Security
Our insect plants can be set up on or near food production or waste management facilities, ensuring a local and reliable feedstock of organic by-products or waste and reducing transportation costs.
Meet Net Zero Targets
BSF bioconversion produces a low carbon alternative to traditional feed sources like soy or fishmeal, which are often linked to deforestation, overfishing, and high carbon footprints.
We plan, design and build industrial-scale insect plants.
Our service covers every step of the journey, from concept and basic engineering to the installation and commissioning of facilities in any location – on open ground or within existing buildings.
Case Study
Using insects to reduce landfill and valorise waste
Entocycle helped an innovative waste management company determine the effectiveness of using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to reduce organic contaminants from mixed plastic waste, thereby preparing the plastics for recycling instead of being sent to landfill. Our feedstock trial showed that BSFL could significantly reduce the organic contaminants in plastics and has laid a strong foundation for future work integrating insect farming for waste valorisation.
“The Entocycle team are very innovative in their approach to identify the best solutions for our requirements. They’re highly professional and always happy to provide valuable advice on technical and operational requirements”
