From Pilot to Full Scale Operationof a Waste-to-Protein Treatment Facility
Christian Zurbrügg, Bram Dortmans, Audinisa Fadhila, Stefan Diener
Just one slide on the rationale
Waste management is still a challenge in low income settings
Organic solid waste is 50-80% of waste mass and is yet hardly recovered and recycled
Strategies and policies are more and more including aspects of circular economy
Current organic waste recovery/recycling still faces a «value chain» challenge
Compost typically has limited value and customers are not where the product is
Biogas often suffers from cheap energy competition
Char production (or biomass fuel) is promising but limited to dry materials
How else can we create value from waste?

Larvae feed on organic material• Fruits & vegetables• Food waste• Slaughterhouse waste• Chicken manure• Human faeces
Conversion of 1 ton of foodwaste into 250 kg fresh larvaewithin 12 days
Larvae contain ~40% proteinand ~30% fat
Material reduction of 70-85% dry matter

BSF - LCA
Life cycle analysis study in Indonesia
Methods• Measurement of CH4 and
N2O during BSF treatment• Comparison with other
organic waste treatmenttechnologies (composting)
Results• Direct GHG emissions
significantly lower for BSF than composting
• Electricity consumption andsource of electricity mostrelevant for LCA
