Post Consumer Food Waste Management:
Black Soldier Fly Larvae
BSFL Compost Bins
Partnership with Bell’s
Experiments
• Relationship between dial temp., sensor temp., and compost pile temp.
• Carbon: Nitrogen ratio• New design for year-round production• Lighting used in breeding structure
Harvest
Waste Reduction Ratio
17:1 ; food to grub castings
DIY5
Input: 53 lbs.
Output: 3.1 lbs
17.10 lbs.
Breeding
• Mini Fridge (insulation)
• Ventilation• Sensors• 60 WATT Halogen
Light• House Plant• Leachate Spray• Pupae Bin• Water Bin• Cardboard• Screen
Breeding Challenges
• Temperature• Relative Humidity• Mites• Mold• Lighting• Automization/ upscaling
