Time for EU action: Broaden waste streams for insect farming to lead global circular economy
There is no question that insect ingredients, particularly from the black soldier fly (BSF), are a truly sustainable solution. A new peer review of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) data for Protix BSF-ingredients confirms this. The beauty is, there is scope to further reduce the environmental footprint. However, this relies on Europe passing legislation to allow lower grade waste as feedstock for insects, as is the case in Asia.
