THE BIG PICTURE

Two of the world's biggest needs involving food resources are directly impacted by Insecticycle's technology.

FOOD WASTE

CARBON EMISSIONS

carbon dioxide + methane

LOST VALUE

disposal of inventory

UNAPPEALING

foul odors + attracts pests

INEFFIENCT

extra energy + resources required to meet demand

LESS RECYCLING

food waste leads to contamination of recyclable materials

BIOHAZARD

potential for harmful bacteria, virus, mold and fungi

INSECT PROTEIN

GLOBAL DEMAND

50% increase in animal feed by 2050

COST EFFECTIVE

Insect protein is cheaper to produce than similar feed ingredients

ROBUST NUTRITION

Natural diet of many animals contains insects

LOCALLY SOURCED

Inputs available locally for reduced transportation

REGULATED SAFELY

Food grade process is FDA and USDA approved

HIGH QUALITY

Feed trials show normal growth rates

INSECTS ON A MISSION

We believe that nature is both an inspiration and a solution to solving some of the worlds biggest problems. Black soldier fly larvae are some of natures fastest eaters where they break down and digest a huge variety of organic material. This gives the insect a double role in the food chain as a powerful recycler and nutrition source for other animals. Now, we are working to harness the power of this insect for improving our recycling and food systems in the human world.

TECHNOLOGY FORWARD

Producing insects requires a unique combination of skills ranging from engineering to entomology. Our team has taken a close look into the life cycle of the black soldier fly for a better understanding of the insect's natural abilities. This has enabled us to create an automated processing system that is highly efficient and easy to operate. This state of the art approach opens the door for new applications of the technology to become possible.

SUSTAINABILITY AT ITS CORE

A key component of many sustainable technologies is that they mimic examples found in nature. By ensuring that our system focuses on the function of the black soldier fly, we know our business operates on the same sustainable principles. Waste goes in and food comes out; we believe this is a universal formula for success.
