Circular Organics is the EU subsidiary of Insect Technology Group, bioconverting organic side streams into sustainable raw materials for feed and chemistry.
Meet our Researcher in Extraction Technology, Nouchka De Craene. She has profound knowledge of the entire BSF lifecycle, and manages biology operations in Turnhout with a team of nine colleagues.
Wishing you a safe and joyful festive break from all of us at the Insect Technology Group. We’re so grateful to all of our employees, partners, suppliers and supporters for navigating this challenging year with us.
Don’t miss our Company Leader, Johan Jacobs, as he shares insight into our insect bioconversion journey with the Insect Technology Group. Johan will be speaking at the Danish Insect Network’s international webinar happening at 15:00 (GMT+1) on 10 Dec 2020. https://t.co/J8jVjIUHOy
The Circular Organics team would like to wish our handyman Karel a pleasant and relaxing second retirement. Worth his weight in gold, Karel could solve any technical problem presented to him during his seven years at the company.
It is with great pride that we announce Bioko! A joint venture between PreZero US and @AgriProtein. Bioko uses the power of nature to fully integrate food waste into the circular economy. Learn more at the EPA Innovation Fair on 11/16. Register here: https://t.co/Jk24cvNPJJ ♻️
We love getting our hands on new gadgets! Some new equipment for our process line have arrived, which will help us improve our products, develop new ones and send large scale samples to our customers worldwide in the coming months.
The insect farming industry is set to grow at a rate of 27.8% annually, providing cheap, sustainable animal feed – and even protein for human consumption. https://t.co/8pqNtM0EKB
Unloading our shiny new equipment was quite the challenge. The dryer alone is five meters long and weighs a whopping five tons! A big thank you to the @Signifycompany technical team for giving us a hand.
The #1st PPILOW Annual Meeting is just finished!
Thank you to all the participants for this interesting #onlinemeeting ! See you in Venice next year...hopefully!
🌍Globally, one-third of all food wasted🧺.
To address the UN 🇺🇳 and EU 🇪🇺 targets to 'halve food waste by 2030', insect business operators throughout Europe play an active role in upcycling agri-food by-/co- products - which would otherwise be discarded or downcycled.

Ready to send out some more big samples of innovative horticulture substrate ingredients... It comes with a free ray of sunshine!!! 😎🌝🍀🍀🍀#innovation#horticulture#insectbioconversion
We also participated in the other workgroups of @NutricycleV , on upcycling nutrients from manure (led by @VCM_vzw ) & water sanitation (by https://t.co/STMtBurYhI )! https://t.co/KLGn6A9fhL : our sister company @multicycletech has tons of experience in those fields!
Yesterday, we presented our bioconversion technologies to upcycle organic side streams from the agro-food chain, into valuable insect products, in 1st meeting of @NutricycleV Agrofood-work group! Interesting to hear about #algae and #duckweed too! Thanks @FlandersFOOD !
We are happy to participate in the new push of Flanders to make the switch to the recuperation of nutrients from different organic side streams, and to promote their use in new applications! Check it out here: https://t.co/6KCECZCTIc
Have you ever wondered how #insects are farmed in Europe? 🦗🐛🚜

As displayed in these pictures, insect farms are highly efficient in terms of land footprint thanks to the vertical farming techniques implemented.
Stay tuned for more info!

Insects are at the top of @Forbes’ list for the biggest food and drink trends predicted for 2021. “Insects are high in protein and can be farmed and produced relatively easily and more cheaply compared to meat.”
