ITB Develops Waste Management Startup Using Black Army Flies
Written by MaryatiWaste is still a serious problem that must be solved, especially in terms of its processing. In regard to this problem, ITB students and lecturers are encouraged to create a Bio-refinery Society -BIOS startup engaged in processing organic waste. BIOS is a techno-social startup that has a vision to create bio-refinery or processing biomass into renewable energy and other materials that are useful for people's lives. Interestingly, in processing the garbage, the BIOS utilizes black army flies. The larva of the black army fly is a type of fly that is larger than ordinary flies and is well-understood for its ability to consume and reduce organic waste.
Co-founder and CEO of the startup, Bagoes Muhammad Inderaja explained that currently, the BIOS is focusing on developing the concept of bio-refinery through the use of protein-rich black fly larvae to be used as premium animal feed. The premium feed developed by BIOS has the name Magic Pet Feed. He also explained that the use of black army flies is more advantageous in comparison with the conventional waste treatment such as bio-digester, or composter. Bio-digester and composter usually take long time. Within 6 weeks until 2 months, new waste can be processed. With black army fly larvae, the processing of waste can be faster up to twice or 3 times.
The BIOS startup has two excellent products: firstly fertilizer for plants, and secondly dry larvae with high protein. The BIOS has even managed to process waste of nearly 150 kilograms for 6 months. The protein-rich larvae produced contain very high protein and are very appropriate for ornamental fish and pet feed such as turtles. Meanwhile, related to fertilizer products produced by the BIOS, Bagoes added that The BIOS startup has also been included in SNI standards. However, the product has not yet entered the market because the BIOS is trying to continue to develop.
