2 An indutry of the future i born. Nine billion people are expected to live on our planet by To feed them all, we will need more than 250 million metric ton of additional protein a year that i an increae of 50% compared to today. Providing thi growing global population with protein require new and innovative approache a exiting ource are overued and expanding them i problematic for the environment. Added to the population challenge i the fact that we don t ue the food we produce very efficiently. Roughly one-third of the food intended for human conumption i lot or wated every year. Thi account for approximately 1.3 billion metric ton of food that never reache our table. Thi i not only a lo of valuable nutritional reource, but alo a challenge in term of dipoal. In many region, landfill or incineration are the prevalent olution for dealing with food wate, and they come with their own problem. There i an ongoing quet for new and efficient technologie to better deal with organic wate. Inect offer a unique opportunity to addre both challenge: protein upply and organic wate dipoal. Inect cloe the loop on organic wate a they recycle nutrient that are otherwie lot and they bring them back into the food value chain. Today, thi utainable olution i not only feaible it can be realized on a large cale and in an economical way. Bühler Inect Technology Solution provide modular ytem for the indutrial-cale tranformation of organic reidue into quality product uch a protein and lipid for animal feed application a well a fertilizer uitable for agricultural and horticultural ue. Thi automated proce olution meet the afety and quality tandard required by the feed indutry and will help to utainably feed the planet. 3 Watch our video to learn more.

The limited availability of fertile land mean that increaed meat production will have coniderable impact on the environment. A huge amount of food doen t even reach our table. Inect are able to recover nutrient from organic reidue and bring them back into the food value chain, thereby contributing to a circular economy. Since no fertile land i needed for their production, they are a promiing and utainable new ource compared to today main alternative.

4 Our role in the inect indutry. We are your technology partner for indutrial plant, equipment, and related ervice for the inect indutry. Our reliable olution cover feedtock preparation from organic reidue, rearing of the larvae, their proceing into protein meal and lipid a well a the proceing of the rearing reidue into fertilizer product. Organic reidue A large variety of organic material accumulate at variou ite Collection Wet and dry organic reidue are collected and tranported to a central location Black oldier fly Ha the Latin name: Hermetia illucen Inect breeding In the lab, expert elect flie with the bet genetic material for protein converion Inect reproduction A colony of the elected flie produce a conitent output of young larvae Seed larvae At 4-6 day old, the young larvae have a high rate of urvival and are robut enough for the rearing tage Feedtock preparation The collected organic reidue are tranformed into an optimal feed for the larvae Rearing With the optimal feed, the young larvae efficiently grow to their ideal harveting weight Our technology cope Larvae proceing The mature larvae are proceed into afe product with conitent quality Rearing reidue proceing The rearing reidue i proceed for direct offtake or can be tranformed into a dried, helf-table product Protein meal The meal conit of a digetible protein with a balanced amino acid profile Lipid Lipid from the larvae are an eaily digetible ource of energy with a high lauric acid content Fertilizer The rearing reidue ha a high organic matter with many nutrient to improve oil fertility Animal nutrition The protein meal and lipid can be applied in aquafeed, pet food, and poultry feed, among other Plant nutrition The fertilizer product can be applied a a oil amendment to timulate plant growth 7 8

5 Feedtock preparation. Our olution are fully cutomized. Feed for the bet reult. Conitent nutrition i key to quality. Proper feedtock preparation i the firt order of buine for any ucceful inect plant. The objective i to tranform the different organic reidue in a timely manner into afe, palatable, and nourihing feed for inect. The organic reidue are tored in ilo before they are mixed into a proper feedtock. Even though black oldier fly larvae are very flexible in term of what they can eat, the feed mix they are given mut fulfill the neceary energy and protein requirement of the larvae. Energy i mainly provided by tarch, ugar and lipid, while for protein, it i not only the amount that i of importance, but alo it digetibility. In addition to thee key nutritional factor, black oldier fly larvae conume their feed in lurry form. Thi offer the poibility to not only ue dry ource that have been moitened, but alo feedtock with a moiture content of up to 85-95%. Thi mean that many wet indutrial byproduct do not need to be dried before they can be ued in our facilitie. Whether wet or dry, for the indutrial production of larvae it i eential that the feed provided i conitent over the whole year. With thi in mind, a reliable upply of the feedtock ource i highly recommended. It i beneficial if the tranport of the feedtock i minimized and the inect proceing factory i built cloe to the location where organic reidue accumulate. Local regulation hould alo be taken into account a they can limit feedtock option. Example of potential feedtock: Bühler Inect Technology Solution (BITS) offer proce technologie that can be eaily cutomized in order to deal with the wide range of potential feedtock uitable for rearing inect. The technical olution include the reception and afe torage of wet and dry raw material a well a their mixing into a homogeneou feed with a uitable compoition and moiture content. If required, additional treatment uch a grinding and/ or fermentation can be applied in order to facilitate the ideal acce to nutrient within the organic material. BITS alo offer conulting regarding feedtock election and recipe deign to optimize larvae growth performance. Taking into account the nutritional compoition of different organic reidue, the feed can be tailored to the requirement of the black oldier fly larvae. Additionally, the tructure of the feed i adapted to bet uit the need of the larvae.

A with everal other livetock indutrie, the young animal needed for rearing in our cae eed larvae are upplied by pecialized companie with a great deal of experience and biological know-how. Within thi breeding and reproduction proce, it i crucial to undertand the full lifecycle of the inect and create ufficient redundancy in order to reliably provide eed larvae. Rearing facilitie make up the larget part of an inect plant. The objective i to efficiently grow young larvae to their ideal harveting weight and to eparate them from the rearing reidue. Typically larvae are grown in crate. Crate handling i fully automated to enure low operational cot. The mot uitable eed larvae upply chain need to be evaluated cae by cae and i dependent on the ize of facility, location, and operational know-how. Seed larvae can be either produced on-ite for direct ue, or off-ite with regular hipment to the inect production plant. If required, our partner Protix can be the upplier of the young larvae. The company ha developed proprietary technology and know-how to enure reliable output. eed larvae Bühler Inect Technology Solution work with tandardized rearing unit with a fixed number of crate that are managed through an automated ytem. Thi allow a modular deign of the inect growth area, o that the capacity of the plant can be eaily adapted to feedtock availability. Larvae are regularly fed with an accurate feeding tation in order to optimize the availability and delivery of nutrient. For torage, crate are tacked, which minimize land ue. A ventilation ytem enure uniform climate condition in each crate thu facilitating fat and conitent growth of the larvae. Overall, our olution enable the cutomer to et and control the rearing condition in a way that enure a high productivity with optimized feedtock converion and minimized development time. egg larvae pupae At the end of the rearing cycle, a harveting proce efficiently eparate the larvae from the rearing reidue. Our technology achieve an exact electivity reulting in clean larvae with minimal loe in the rearing reidue. adult fly 11 12
