Entopro designs and operates modular Black Soldier Fly production systems that convert large volumes of organic waste into high‑protein insect larvae and nutrient‑rich frass. By providing automated, scalable farms and genetically optimized fly strains, the company offers a circular‑economy solution that reduces waste disposal costs, lowers greenhouse‑gas emissions, and supplies sustainable feed ingredients for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture producers.

Problem
Large volumes of organic waste are often disposed of in landfills or incinerated, leading to environmental pollution and missed opportunities for resource recovery. Simultaneously, the livestock industry faces rising demand for sustainable, high‑quality animal protein while seeking to reduce its ecological footprint.
Solution
Entopro designs and implements technologically advanced production systems for the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) to convert organic waste streams into valuable biomass. Their modular farms ingest high‑volume organic residues, rapidly transform them into insect larvae rich in protein and fat, and generate additional co‑products such as frass for use as organic fertilizer. By integrating these processes within a circular‑economy framework, Entopro provides a closed‑loop solution that reduces waste disposal costs, lowers greenhouse‑gas emissions, and supplies sustainable feed ingredients for animal agriculture. The company tailors its systems to diverse operational niches, leveraging genetically selected insect strains and research collaborations to optimize conversion efficiency and product quality.
Target Audience
Primary customers include livestock feed manufacturers, poultry and aquaculture producers, agribusinesses seeking waste‑to‑resource solutions, and municipalities or waste‑management firms looking to divert organic waste from landfills.
Features
