The power of nature in industrial applications    

Insect farming is extremely efficient in the recycling of organic materials - both as an independent process as well as a supplement to composting or biogas production. It plays a central role in the overall system of waste recycling. REPLOID uses black soldier fly (BSF) larvae to convert food waste into high-quality protein and fat.

Global biomass - the figures speak for themselves 

Insects account for 42% of global biomass., – clear evidence of their importance in the ecosystem.
Humans, on the other hand, only 2.5%, Farm animals account for around 4%. And yet it is our consumer behaviour that urgently requires sustainable solutions. This is where theinsect-based circular economy to: It offers a smart alternative to traditional disposal methods and actively contributes to resource conservation.

Insects as livestock – a key technology in the material cycle  

 Recycling reimagined 

Insects play a central role in nature: they decompose organic material and return it to the nutrient cycle. 
REPLOID brings this function into industrial application. This means that organic waste materials are not only used for energy, but also for material recycling.  

Our farm animal

The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) – a master of transformation:

  • Recycles organic waste in no time at all 
  • Produces high-quality protein and fat 
  • Requires little space, can be grown on sealed and infertile land 
  • Does not pose a risk to humans or nature.  

‘Waste becomes a resource – thanks to the most efficient farm animal of the future.’

Biological innovation through breeding 


Breeding instead of chance 
Unlike pigs, chickens or cattle, black soldier fliesstill hardly exploited for breeding purposes. 
The potential here is enormous:

  • Enable rapid generational change, rapid and targeted selection 
  • No genetic engineering necessary; traditional breeding methods lead to rapid success 

Our breeding goals 

  • Higher biomass yield per input 
  • Stable performance on different substrates 
  • Stress resistance  

 

Why diversity means efficiency 
REPLOID developedregional breeding lines, which are adapted to local side streams.
We use biodiversity as a tool to guarantee maximum utilisation and minimum losses.

Advantages of regional breeding lines: 

  • Higher substrate tolerance 
  • Improved efficiency  
  • Adaptation to climatic conditions 

Biology as a driver of the circular economy 

Insects are not just a product – they are abiological tool, that combines biochemistry, nutrient cycles and efficiency.
With each breeding cycle, we come closer to our vision:A regenerative bioeconomy with biological logic at its core.



Conclusion: A revolution in the extraction of raw materials


We utilise the natural potential of insects to turn low-value waste into high-quality raw materials - a smart, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposal. Less waste, more efficiency: that's the real circular economy!

  • Insects are the livestock of the future 
  • Traditional breeding increases efficiency in the long term 
  • REPLOID combines biology and technology for circular systems 
  • Our research makes the invisible visible – and economically viable
