Life Cycle Assessment of BSF Farming for Food-Waste Valorization & Feed
An industrial-scale LCA from Protix in collaboration with DIL analyzes BSF meal production using ramp-up plant data rather than pilot assumptions.
Why it matters
- Moves beyond small pilots to industrial operations, using ramp-up plant data that decision-makers trust.
- Frames sustainability alongside functional value (nutrition, formulation benefits, circularity) to support both policy and purchasing conversations.
- Identifies improvement levers (feedstock, energy mix, process efficiency) to guide continuous reduction of impacts as the sector scales.
How to use
- Cite key findings in decks, investor FAQs, and policy briefs.
- Use as an anchor when discussing feedstock choices and OPEX/CAPEX roadmaps with stakeholders.
- Pair with cost/quality data when building buyer education for aquafeed or poultry trials.
