Vilnius region is among the global frontrunners in using fly larvae to process kitchen waste \u2013 and this is precisely why our innovation is now featured by the BBC.

As the article notes, similar initiatives do exist globally, but they are typically small-scale \u2013 for instance, private projects handling food scraps from a single hotel or apartment building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur pilot deliveries of larvae have already begun \u2013 with partners in the paint, glue and furniture sectors,\u201d shared our CEO, Algirdas Blazgys, in the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key takeaways from the article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 We\u2019ve already produced prototype lamp shades and paint batches using our larvae. The paint technology is still being refined to achieve the right colour, but the lamp shades have turned out remarkably well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 We continue to collaborate with universities, supplying fly larvae for research and for use in bacterial cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Our technology will enable the Vilnius region to save up to EUR 2 million annually \u2013 we do not charge municipalities for collecting and processing food waste from residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal for next year is ambitious: to process 12,000 tonnes of kitchen waste. To help us get there, we encourage residents to separate food waste and use the orange bags provided \u2013 we\u2019ll ensure the waste reaches the larvae!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
