Every tonne of food waste helps to offset 1.9 tonnes of CO2 emissions

Bardee turn food waste into a perfect feed for black soldier fly larvae. The frass or castings, are an all-natural, certified organic fertiliser, high in chitin, and alive with 240 million microbes per gram. The protein is a high quality ingredient for animal feed, hypo-allergenic, and proven to have better food conversion ratio.

70% of food wastage occurs before we see food on our plate, and most usually ends up in landfill. When food goes to landfill and rots, it produces methane— a greenhouse gas 30x more potent than carbon dioxide.
