Little black soldier flies harness the strength of a monster to decompose food waste

By cultivating black soldier flies, organic waste can be effectively processed; in addition, the insects and excrement have economic value. When the black soldier fly enters the pupal stage, its body and excrement are dried and processed, and these can be used as a high-quality protein source for aquaculture, poultry feed, and pet food. MonsterEnvironmental has cooperated with neighboring chicken farmers to feed the chickens with insect feed and provide fertilizer to small farmers, forming a circular economy system. The MonsterEnvironmental team has 14 million black soldier flies and can process about 200 tons of food waste every year. The company’s business model is divided into front-end and back-end. The front-end is responsible for recycling food waste from large food companies and chain restaurants, while the back-end sells black soldier fly protein and excrement to feed companies and agricultural and livestock operators.
