Problem
The aquaculture industry generates substantial fish sludge waste, while simultaneously facing a need for sustainable and cost-effective feed ingredients. Traditional fish meal production contributes to overfishing and ecosystem damage, creating a demand for alternative protein sources.
Solution

This circular economy approach reduces the environmental impact of aquaculture by valorizing its waste products. The resulting worm biomass offers a nutrient-rich alternative to conventional feed ingredients, promoting sustainable practices across multiple industries. CapiPro aims to be a leading producer of sustainable feed ingredients, focusing on local resource utilization and circularity principles.
Target Audience
CapiPro's primary customers include pet food manufacturers, aquaculture farms, and agricultural businesses seeking sustainable and cost-effective protein sources.
