JAKARTA – A bioconversion organic waste processing plant that built under the partnership of Korindo Foundation and FFLI Foundation officially opened, Wednesday (01/02/2023). It can handle up to 1 ton of living waste per day. Cibubur Rest Area was picked as the project location, given its position as a waste source that needs urgent solutions.
“Other than being environmentally beneficial, this facility offers new economic opportunities. Profits gained from this project will be channeled into community and environmental empowerment programs,” explained Mr. Robert Seung, the chairman of Korindo Foundation.
The black soldier flies-based bioconversion approach is relatively safe for the surrounding area and community, given the species’s non-pathogenic nature and the absence of disease agents within its body. In this method, black soldier fly larvae decompose organic waste generated by human activities. These insects can later be used as fish or chicken feed for their high amino acids and protein content.
