Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Technology

Turning Food Surplus into Sustainable Value

Our Packaged Organics Division is driving innovation across the food manufacturing and waste management sectors by transforming 100% of food by-products into sustainable, edible surplus. We combine proven technologies with scalable, robust processes to deliver high-impact, circular solutions.

A key innovation is our use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) technology for bio-conversion—a cutting-edge method that plays a vital role in achieving zero carbon goals through the reuse of food in a closed-loop system.

This technology is deployed at our Wisbech-based Sustainability Hub, using our proprietary Bio-Conversion Units, developed in collaboration with the Packaged Insight Division. The facility will soon expand to include a full-scale BSF production unit, capable of processing over 10,000 tonnes of organic surplus per year—significantly scaling up our capacity to support food manufacturers, retailers, and waste processors.

At Packaged Organics, we harness our expertise in animal feed and food production alongside the power of BSF biotechnology to revolutionise food surplus management. This process transforms food waste into high-value, sustainable co-products—driving down emissions, improving resource efficiency, and enabling circular outcomes.

How It Works

BSF larvae rapidly consume organic matter, converting it into:

  • Insect protein – a sustainable ingredient for animal feed and aquaculture
  • Insect oil – an eco-friendly alternative to traditional oils and fats
  • Pulp and skins – with potential applications in pet feed and materials
  • Frass – a nutrient-rich, scent-free fertiliser with natural pest-repellent properties

Key Advantages

  • Rapid waste reduction – BSF larvae significantly reduce the volume and weight of food waste
  • Low environmental impact – Emissions are a fraction of traditional waste or livestock systems
  • Minimal resource use – Requires little water or land compared to conventional farming
  • Valuable by-products – High-quality protein, oil, pulp, skins and frass support multiple sustainable applications
  • Supports CSR and sustainability goals – Aligns with carbon reduction and resource circularity objectives
