What differentiates us? We have not one, but three species, offering some of the highest-quality insect nutritional profiles

INSECTLIFE CORUÑA
We launched in 2023 this project, to accelerate a global shift to sustainable protein using insects, technology and innovation.
Insects are often seen as pests, but what if we could harness their ability to eat and metabolize waste? That's the idea behind a farm specialized in breeding insects that eat organic and plastic waste. By doing so, they can produce products with high added value that can be of various types.
This innovative approach to waste management has the potential to revolutionize the industry and help us tackle some of the biggest environmental challenges we face today.
The first step in this process is breeding insects that are well-suited to eating and metabolizing waste. This requires careful selection and breeding of certain species, as well as creating the right conditions for them to thrive.
Once the insects have been bred and established, they can be introduced to waste material. Depending on the type of waste, different species of insects may be used.
Insect farming has been gaining popularity as an alternative source of protein for human consumption. However, a recent discovery has shown that certain insects can also help solve the problem of plastic pollution.
Researchers have found that mealworms and waxworms, two species commonly used in insect farming, have the ability to consume and break down plastic.
