  • Eliminate organic waste onsite
  • Cut your operation costs
  • Protect the environment
  • Reduce your waste collection
  • Provide infrastructure which is Scalable and Off Grid
  • Initiate process of the BSF cycle
  • Train staff on process and maintenance
  • Monitor the system
  • Collect data on the diversion
  • Examine bi-product potential

How we do it……

Collection – Using specially modified “Fly to Feed” Bins the organic waste is collected and dispensed into the bins. The size and number of bins required is dependent upon the amount of food waste produced which will be assessed in consultation with our team.

 

Reduction – The natural cycle of the Black Soldier Fly is used to reduce the food waste by up to 80%. A starter pack of 3-5 day old larvae will be supplied to commence the cycle, following which the system is monitored for the  continued production of larvae and ongoing reduction. More larvae can be supplied to increase or restart the cycle and continued reduction.

 

Service – The service model is to ensure the system continues to operate at its optimum level. This can include a full clean of the bin/s, restocking of the larvae and rotation of bins as required. Our service model can be on a regular plan or an “as needs” basis depending on your specific requirements.

FAQ's

No not at all…Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as adults will lay eggs above waste after mating then fly away to complete their 4 days of adult life and be consumed by nature as native feed or compost.
We don’t, and actually shouldn’t try too, it’s a natural cycle that we provide an optimal habitat to utilize it as a resource
It has been done on very small and very large scales around the globe, with great proof of success, our systems fill the void in between.
Our domestic systems will be no bigger than a low wheelie bin, our commercial systems are a scaled version of the domestic with consideration of volume, efficiency of space is of key consideration.
Why others love us.

We asked people what they like about our waste principles

  • “Our food waste is an issue and we have always felt bad that there was nothing else we could do but sent it to landfill. The Fly to Feed system means we can treat it on-site, reduce the waste and not really have to touch it due to the service offered”.

  • “Glowing Green Australia worked with the Fly to Feed system at the Global Wave Conference 2020 on the Gold Coast as part of our waste reduction plan to achieve certification from STOKE, the first event in Australia to achieve this. Organic waste amounted to 60% of the overall waste from the event and the Fly to Feed system ended up reducing this down by 80%.”
