Food Waste into Animal Feed

Waste-to-Feed facility involves collecting, processing and treatment of food waste using BSF Technology to produce high protein animal feed, with oil feed and soil as by-products

Value Propositions:

• High per capita food waste generation in the UAE (around 197kg) generates a loss of around $3.5 billion per year
• The facility can reduce import dependency on animal feed and possible supply bottlenecks; UAE currently imports ~1billion of soyabeans every year of which 85% used as poultry feed
• The facility supports in closing the loop of food production; food waste is upcycled using Black Solider Fly (BSF) larvae technology into sustainable products that are sold back into the industry
• The processing plant reduces the damage of methane emissions from landfills which represent the largest source of GHG emissions from the entire waste sector, ~700mt of CO2 per year
• The facility reduces public health threats (i.e. Salmonella) and environmental risks caused by harmful disposal of food waste
