Fostering circular economy. Bioconverting food waste into sustainable proteins for animal feed through insect rearing.
TicInsect bioconverts food waste into protein ingredients for animal feed by rearing Hermetia illucens larvae. This insect is a natural recycler of organic waste, able to recover up to 70% of the proteinic content. Insect larvae are then transformed into protein flour and oil, which are sold as high-quality ingredients for animal feed.
Insect-derived feed ingredients are a substitute for the less sustainable fish-derived and soy-derived ingredients; this product is highly demanded for pet food manufacturing, in aquaculture and to nourish chicken, poultry and pigs.
