Feasibility Study for Black Soldier Fly Larvae Bioconversion
Overview
Veolia, in collaboration with Plant & Food Research (The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Limited) and Massey University, and with co-funding from New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries, undertook a comprehensive feasibility study to explore the potential of large-scale Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) production in Aotearoa.
Duration
The study spanned over two years, from late 2022 through to early 2025, allowing for a thorough investigation of technical, environmental, and commercial factors.
Location
The feasibility study was conducted in Palmerston North, located in the Manawatū region of New Zealand. This site was selected due to its strategic location, proximity to research institutions, and relevance to regional waste and agricultural dynamics.
Outcome and benefits
This study aimed to assess the viability of using BSFL bioconversion as an innovative and sustainable method for organic waste management and as a source of alternative protein. The project sought to align environmental stewardship with the development of a circular bioeconomy, addressing both waste reduction and future food system resilience. The project was led by Veolia in partnership with Plant & Food Research and Massey University. It was co-funded by the Ministry for Primary Industries, reflecting strong support from both the public and private sectors for advancing sustainable technologies in New Zealand.
