Product description

Goterra's Modular Insect Bioconversion Unit (MIB) is an innovative solution that transforms organic waste management. Utilizing black soldier fly larvae within autonomous, modular units, the MIB processes food waste directly at the source, converting it into high-quality protein and organic fertilizer. This approach not only reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills but also mitigates associated greenhouse gas emissions.

The MIB's design allows for seamless integration into existing waste infrastructure, making it adaptable for various settings, including urban centers, agricultural sites, and commercial facilities. Its decentralized nature minimizes the need for waste transportation, further reducing environmental impact. The resulting insect protein serves as a sustainable feed alternative for livestock and aquaculture, while the organic fertilizer enriches soil health.

By combining biological processes with automation, Goterra's MIB offers a scalable, efficient, and eco-friendly solution to organic waste challenges, contributing significantly to a circular economy and sustainable future.
