WCEF2024 Accelerator Session: <\/span>Insects-based solutions for a circular bioeconomy<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Time: 18 April 2024 at 14:00-15:30 CEST (UTC+2)<\/span>
<\/span>Place: hybrid \u2013 Premises of the Mission of the Republic of Serbia to the European Union, Boulevard du Regent 53, 1000 BRUXELLES, and online, via ZOOM<\/p>\n

The session presented innovative ways to biodegrade waste using insects and larvae. In Serbia, experiments were made to biodegrade plastic, mainly styrofoam, using the brood mother of Tenebrio molitor larvae. In South Africa, black soldier fly larvae were tested for reducing organic waste. Both larvae also provide alternative protein-rich animal feed. In Lesotho, laboratory experiments validated the merit of using tsie-balimo (\u201celegant grasshoppers\u201d) as a natural insecticide. Video recording will be uploaded soon…<\/span><\/p>\n

This webinar was an accelerator session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2024 (WCEF2024.com<\/a>). WCEF2024 is guided by the latest scientific evidence on the most impactful circular solutions and explores how to turn them from theory to action. The Forum was held from 15 to 18 April in Brussels, Belgium, and was organised by Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund, produced with Circle Economy Foundation and the International Resource Panel, in close collaboration with international partner organisations.<\/p>\n
