A scalable bioconversion technology using Black Soldier Fly larvae to transform organic by-products into high-quality proteins, oils, and fertilizers, supporting sustainable animal feed and soil health solutions.
Protein production methods: The issues with dealing with agricultural waste
17%
reduction in crop yields expected globally by 2050
Due to dramatic resource depletion and climate change, it won’t be possible to rely on traditional protein production methods: it is necessary to seek alternatives and sustainable proteins.
Italy and Europe import around 30% of the consumpted feed it's becoming crucial to shorten the food supply chain and dignify the agricultural bioproducts that are routinely generated.
Tackling Resource Depletion with Sustainable Alternatives
BugsLife's technology exploits the Black Soldier Fly's bioconversion capabilities to efficiently recover nutrients from food waste. Their patented semi-automated motion of biomass within the supply chain allows clients to economize production areas, maximizing the utilizable output from processes in vertical farming modules.
With this solution, food waste's conversion to processable larvae lasts 7-10 days.
Reducing waste and costs with the Black Soldier Fly
-99.1%
fewer emissions compared to pig farming
Black Soldier Fly farming substantially impacts climate change through its multifaceted approach. Efficient bioconversion reduces water, feed, land use, and GHG emissions local production stabilizes prices and decreases reliance on imported protein sources.
This circular process repurposes by-products for nutrient-rich output and harnesses excess energy from other industries.
BugsLife is a sustainable protein solution for:
- Feed manufactures
- Agro-industries
- Biogas facilities
- SMEs
The benefits of BugsLife alternative protein solution
BugsLife offers technological packages tailored to "medium-sized" facilities handling 5-50k tons/year of feed, while lowering the necessary investment into production facilities.
This aligns seamlessly with Europe's agri-food landscape, predominantly comprised of SMEs By catering to this specific range, it ensures that businesses within this capacity can reap substantial benefits from their technology.
