Omnivore Recycling

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗶𝗴𝘀 🐷🌱 In the spring, wild boars have an increased need for animal protein, which they naturally fulfill by feeding on worms and grubs. This nutrient requirement is no different for domestic pigs 🐖. Yet in the EU, pigs are currently fed vegetarian diets 🥦, missing out on their natural source of essential nutrients. Beyond nutrition, there’s another key aspect: animal welfare ❤️. Just like their wild counterparts, domestic pigs have an innate desire to forage for insects 🐛. It’s not just a source of food—it’s enrichment, stimulation, and a step towards a more natural lifestyle 🌍. At Omnivore Recycling, we enable farmers to meet these needs. By feeding larvae of the Black Soldier Fly to pigs, we provide a complete nutrient source while offering the animals the opportunity to engage in their natural foraging behavior. The result? Happier, healthier pigs 🐷✨. Farmers who want to take the next step in enhancing animal nutrition and welfare, get in touch with us 📩. #Sustainability #AnimalWelfare #InsectProtein #PigFarming #BlackSoldierFly

🎉✨ 𝗞𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻! ✨🎉 The Omnivore Recycling team recently came together to celebrate the successes of 2024 and gear up for an exciting year ahead. We’re incredibly thankful for the collaboration and support that made last year so impactful. 2025 is set to be a game-changer! 🚀 With new pilot projects on the horizon, we’re ready to unlock even more of the incredible potential that insect technology holds for a sustainable future. Here’s to innovation, progress, and making a difference—together! 🌍 Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the new year. Let’s make it one to remember! #InsectTechnology #CircularEconomy #NewYear #Innovation

🌍 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 🐛 Composting is undoubtedly a great way to avoid methane emissions from landfills. But did you know there’s an even better solution? Insect recycling not only prevents harmful emissions but also recovers nutrients from food waste. These nutrients are transformed into valuable products like sustainable animal feed and organic fertilizer, creating a circular economy. At Omnivore Recycling, we’re turning food waste into a resource, helping reduce emissions and retain valuable nutrients in the food chain. #foodwaste #methane #climate

🌞 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟱𝟱°𝗖 🌡️ Recently, we hosted a consortium visit to discuss how our technology could be applied in the Gulf States together with PEM RWTH Aachen University. With ambitious goals to reduce landfill dependency, these discussions underscored the immense potential of black soldier fly larvae to transform regional food waste and by-products into valuable resources for aquaculture 🐟 and poultry farming 🐓. Fish waste and date pits 🌴—both abundant in this region—are just two examples of the waste streams we are converting into protein-rich feed. Tackling challenges like extreme temperatures, which can soar to 55°C, requires innovative solutions and collaborations. 🤝 A big thank you to everyone who participated for sharing their valuable insights and making this exchange so fruitful.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗢𝗺𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 🌱 Trout, as omnivores, require high-quality feed—but over 40% of it currently consists of fishmeal. This reliance on fishmeal not only drives up costs for farmers but also places a heavy burden on marine ecosystems.🐟 At Omnivore Recycling, we provide a sustainable alternative: insect larvae protein. With an amino acid profile that mirrors fishmeal, larvae protein offers an effective replacement, ensuring the trout's nutritional needs are fully met. By substituting fishmeal with larvae protein, we reduce environmental impact, lower feed costs, and promote a circular, eco-friendly approach to aquaculture.🌍

🐛 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗲? Our black soldier fly larvae are much more than a sustainable solution to food waste—they play a crucial role in creating a local, eco-friendly protein source for animals. Here’s how: Recently, we visited Norbert Dyckers’ pig farm, where our insect larvae are fed fresh and alive to pigs. 🐷 The results? Happier, healthier pigs! Pigs are natural omnivores, and the animal protein from the larvae makes them stronger and more robust. Plus, searching for larvae under straw keeps them entertained and improves their welfare. It’s also a sustainable solution—by using insect protein, we’re reducing the need for soy imports and providing local farmers with a high-quality, natural feed source. This is why we farm insect larvae: to close the loop on organic waste, boost animal welfare, and create a circular economy that benefits both farmers and the planet. 🌱 #InsectFarming #AnimalWelfare #CircularEconomy #LocalProtein #PigFarming #BlackSoldierFly

🌱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗢𝗺𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮 Our Kenyan pilot plant, in collaboration with Limbua, is making a difference for smallholder farmers like Stephen Mbogo and his wife. They have 50 chickens and grow macadamia, avocado, and coffee. By working with LIMBUA Deutschland GmbH / LIMBUA Group Limited, Stephen can sell his products at a fair price and benefit from our upcycling process. Through our plant, food waste is converted into high-value insect protein. Stephen receives insect residues as fertilizer and fresh insect larvae as feed for his chickens, reducing costs and supporting more sustainable farming practices. We are committed to expanding this impact and giving more smallholder farmers access to these innovative products! 🌍 #CircularEconomy #SmallholderFarmers #Kenya #Agriculture #Poultry
