The Impact
of IWM

Food waste is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Landfills release methane (CH₄), a gas significantly more potent than CO₂ in trapping heat. IWM diverts food waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and supporting climate goals.

Global food demand is rising, and traditional protein sources put strain on land and water. IWM produces insect protein with significantly lower resource use compared to soy or fishmeal. It also produces insect fertiliser, called Frass fertiliser, which improves soil quality, making agriculture more resilient​.

Waste disposal costs are increasing, and landfill bans are tightening regulations. IWM provides waste managers with a profitable alternative by converting organic waste into high-value products like insect meal and biofertiliser. Compared to traditional methods, IWM requires less energy input and is not reliant on energy price subsidies.

Anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis demand high energy inputs to process waste. IWM is a low-energy alternative—Black Soldier Fly larvae can convert waste into biomass within days, with minimal external energy needed​.

Global food waste exceeds 1.3 billion tons per year. Composting and anaerobic digestion can be slow and costly. IWM is significantly faster, processing organic waste in under two weeks, making Black Soldier Fly bioconversion one of the most efficient biological waste solutions​.

IWM keeps organic waste in circulation, producing valuable feed and soil inputs instead of letting it go to landfill or incineration. As global policies shift towards circular solutions, IWM, and Black Soldier Fly farms more broadly, is well-positioned as a scalable, sustainable choice for waste management everywhere,.
