Bardee

The single greatest thing your business can do to cut emissions and save money? Embrace the circular economy. Every year, Australia generates 7.6 million tonnes of food waste, costing businesses and households $36.6 billion annually. Worse, 3.2 million tonnes of that waste ends up in landfills, where it releases methane—a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years. (Source: National Food Waste Strategy, CSIRO). At Bardee, we turn food waste into a valuable resource, not an environmental burden. Our insect technology upcycles food waste into: ✅ Sustainable protein for pet food and animal feed—replacing soy and fish meal. ✅ High-performance organic fertilisers—improving soil health while cutting synthetic inputs. ✅ Carbon credits—verifiably reducing emissions and helping businesses reach ESG targets. By partnering with us, businesses don’t just cut waste costs—they drive real sustainability impact with measurable Scope 3 emissions reductions. The circular economy isn’t a buzzword—it’s the future of business. And it’s already here. ♻️ Want to turn your food waste into impact?

Food Waste? Soon, We’ll Just Call It a Resource. Perceptions are shifting. As the food waste circular economy grows, what we once called “waste” is now being recognized for what it really is—a valuable resource. At Bardee, we’re proving that food waste isn’t something to be discarded. It’s an opportunity. In just seven days, we upcycle it into: ✅ Sustainable protein for pet food and livestock feed ✅ Organic fertilisers that regenerate soil health No landfill. Fewer methane emissions. Just clean, circular solutions that close the loop on food production. The future isn’t about “managing” food waste—it’s about harnessing its potential. And soon, we won’t even call it waste at all. Who’s ready to reframe the way we see food systems? 💚♻️ #CircularEconomy #FoodWasteSolutions #Upcycling

A rising tide lifts all boats. The more companies using insect protein in their formulations, the greater the impact; more dogs will benefit and the planet will too. They have my full support. I've discovered that people don’t choose brands with their heads—they choose with their hearts. Logic alone doesn’t drive decisions—emotion, meaning, and connection do. That’s why purpose-driven brands win. I created Feed For Thought not just to sell dog food—but to build a future where nutrition is better for dogs and better for the planet. And that’s a story people want to be part of.

How flies went from a pain in the a** to best friends of Aussie cattle 🪰🐄 For years, flies were nothing but a nuisance in the paddock. Now, black soldier flies are helping cattle farmers grow greener pastures and feed their herds sustainably. At Bardee, we’ve developed Superfly fertiliser to be a cost-effective, high-impact input for pasture farms—backed by four years of field trials and industry collaboration. ✅ Proven in the field – Large-scale pasture trials in partnership with the Victorian Farmers Federation and private farms, have shown strong results. ✅ Cost-effective – We’ve worked hard on pricing to make Superfly a viable alternative to synthetic fertilisers for pasture farming. ✅ Consistently high quality – Thanks to our large, centralised, and highly efficient facility, we can scale production while maintaining premium quality every day. From upcycling food waste to regenerating pastures, these flies are the new powerhouse for Aussie pasture farming. 🐄 Want to know how Superfly can boost your pasture growth? 🍽️ Want to procure beef for your restaurant that's grown from your food waste?

Is your favourite Australian wine being grown with food waste? 🍷♻️ At Bardee, we collect food waste from restaurants and feed it to black soldier fly larvae. As they grow, they break it down into valuable nutrients, and their castings and exoskeletons become Superfly organic fertiliser—a powerful, natural alternative to synthetic fertilisers. 🍇 Why do winemakers love Superfly? ✅ Replaces synthetic fertilisers – No need for urea or mined phosphates, reducing reliance on chemical inputs. ✅ Boosts vine health – Strengthens roots, improves soil microbiology, and enhances nutrient uptake. ✅ Enhances flavour & aroma – Chitosan in Superfly increases terpenes and flavonoids, intensifying colour, complexity, and taste. ✅ Fully circular – The same food waste from top restaurants feeds the soil that grows the grapes—and those wines return to the menu! Superfly is already nourishing vineyards across South Australia, Victoria, and other wine regions across Australia, helping winemakers grow healthier vines and produce exceptional wines—without synthetic chemicals.
