Corp Set to Tackle Food Waste Crisis With Black Soldier Fly Composting
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|June 20, 2025
The eco-friendly method is expected to reduce city's dependence on private service providers
IN AN effort to combat the mounting organic garbage crisis in the state capital, the city corporation is all set to introduce black soldier fly (BSF) composting technology to manage food waste.
The eco-friendly waste-treatment method, with a proven record in Kochi, is expected to reduce the city's dependence on private service providers and pig farms.
The civic body is planning to set up two BSF composting units in the city over the next four months.
According to officials, over 100 tonnes of food waste is currently collected daily by service providers and Haritha Karma Sena (HKS) members from households, restaurants and eateries.
However, unregulated collection practices and illegal dumping have raised a lot of questions.
