[Waste Hub] Transforming Organic Waste with Black Soldier Flies

As the global need for sustainable waste solutions grows, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) technology is emerging as a powerful tool to transform organic waste into valuable resources. Launched at the 2025 Climate and Clean Air Conference, the new report Transforming Organic Waste with Black Soldier Flies provides a practical guide for decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and implementers exploring BSF systems.

BSF systems offer a highly efficient alternative to traditional composting by rapidly converting organic waste into multiple high-value products—including insect protein, oil for animal feed, and frass fertilizer. This process not only reduces organic waste volumes but also supports food system resilience and resource recovery, aligning closely with global sustainability and climate goals. As such, BSF technology is gaining increasing attention from policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and development practitioners seeking scalable, nature-based solutions.

The webinar will delve into the potential of BSF technology across a range of settings—from large-scale industrial operations to decentralized systems suitable for rural towns or smallholder communities. Attendees will gain insights into the report’s system templates, technology components, and practical guidance for assessing the feasibility and implementation of BSF systems in their own contexts.

This session is designed for a broad audience, including decision-makers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, BSF operators, and anyone interested in innovative waste-to-value approaches. By highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of BSF adoption, the webinar will support informed decision-making and help stakeholders unlock the full potential of organic waste transformation.
