Squaring a Circle – BlackSoldierFlies.com
Black soldier flies can be a great component in a circular economy, in more than one way. However, they cannot always perform miracles. For example, they cannot feed on biogas digestate (which is a fancy term to describe leftovers of processing waste into biogas). While this is sad, it is also not very surprising because gas-producing bacteria were likely to remove a considerable proportion of nutrients from the substrate. In addition, they may have poisoned it with their own metabolites.
