Upcycling Food Waste for a Greener Future
Learn MoreWelcome to 2Insects, where innovation meets sustainability. We specialize in producing high-quality protein for animal feed through the revolutionary use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, transforming food waste into valuable resources.
Climate Mitigation
Import substitution
Food security
Our mission is to create a sustainable and resilient food system by harnessing the power of Black Soldier Fly larvae to upcycle food waste into high-quality animal feed protein.
2Insects emerged from a passion for sustainability and innovation. Our dedicated team of scientists and researchers work tirelessly to bring you eco-friendly solutions for animal nutrition.
Our BSF protein is a superior alternative to traditional animal feed proteins, offering a sustainable, nutrient-rich option for livestock and aquaculture.
Benefits High Protein Content, Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective
Product Specifications Detailed info about protein content, nutritional values, packaging options
Process Explanation Our process begins with collecting food waste, which is then fed to BSF larvae. The larvae convert the waste into protein, which is harvested, processed, and packaged as animal feed.
Research found in the field of reproduction and heredity regarding Bioscal pheromone is altering the perception of Black soldier fly’s rearing process. Some attempts by the scientist and the horticulturist have been made to single out and standardize some of these genetic modifiers for such qualities as growth rates, nutritive value, and resilience to production volatility. The developments discovered in the field provide a higher degree of impactful management of BSF farming.
Today’s research is focusing on increasing the nutritional value of the BSF larvae in view of using them in feeding animals. Some of these areas of study are; effects of different feeding practices on the protein and fat content of larvae and the micronutrient content. This research is necessary for an identification of healthy and cheap possible feed sources for large meat and fish farming businesses.
Researches have been carried out on the possibility of using the BSF larvae as bio-converters in transforming wastes into more valuable products. The latter include enhancements in the claims for waste treatment and the identification of a range of suitable organic waste input. Such research is consequential in making the necessary changes in the sector by improving the utility of wastes and backing circular economy systems.
Current research investigations include the Lifecycle Assessment that yields several variables to do with the carbon footprint of BSF farming systems, water consumption, and ecology. Likewise, another is the Assessment of yield variables concerning the farming systems, biodiversity, water use, and ecology of BSF. These assessments are what can assist in ensuring that farming that utilizes BSF does not turn out to be a negative influence on the environment.
By-products of BSF can be utilized in biodegradable polymers such as bioplastics and can even be used to make renewable energy sources. Moreover, research is going on in reference to the conversion of chitin, lipids, and other products from BSF for the development of other sustainable related industries.
Based on the analysis of the nutritional values of the black soldier fly larvae, its feed has the following benefits over the conventional diets:
Environmental Impact By upcycling food waste, we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize the environmental footprint of animal feed production.
Carbon Footprint Data and statistics on carbon savings achieved through the BSF process
Economic Benefits Our locally-produced BSF protein reduces dependence on imported feed ingredients, boosting local economies and ensuring a stable supply chain.
Cost Savings Analysis of cost benefits for farmers and producers
Sustainable Nutrition BSF protein contributes to a more secure food system by providing a reliable and sustainable source of animal feed protein.
Resilience How BSF protein helps build resilient agricultural systems capable of withstanding market and environmental fluctuations
MoA signed between ASAB NUST and 2Insects B.V International in finding alternative protein sources to replace soybean-based proteins in poultry diet.
The objective is to establish an Insectaria facility at ASAB in collaboration with 2Insects where ASAB faculty and researchers will work on the growth of BSF on agricultural food waste.
