Protein
All livestock animals need protein for their growth. Aquaculture farms rely on high-quality animal-based protein to produce salmon, trout and shrimp. Fishmeal cannot sustainably meet this growing demand as the world population expands and changes its culinary habits. Locally produced insect protein can substitute or complement fishmeal in most livestock diets.
Lipids
Black Soldier Fly lipids are a sustainable new source of lipids, with a fatty acid profile similar to coconut oil. Its abundant lauric acid has anti-microbial and probiotic qualities, which makes it a great product for a wide range of applications.
Chitin and Chitosan
Insect chitin is a versatile biopolymer that can be further purified and processed into chitosan and glucosamine. The range of applications for these specialty chemicals is broad and very versatile. Circular Organics focuses mainly on the animal feed additive market, where chitin’s remarkable anti-microbial properties contribute to animal health and welfare.
Frass
“Frass” is the rest fraction of the fruit and vegetables that the larvae have not fully consumed. It is rich in carbon, phosphorus and minerals. Circular Organics brings insect frass products as natural soil improvers and bio-stimulants to the horticulture market.
