The Company
BioflyTech was established in 2012 and is the only company in the sector to emerge from a research group specialised in the breeding of dipterous insects
Main milestones
1999
Our research team led by Santos Rojo, focuses on studying dipterous insects and specifically Hermetia Illucens
2012
BioflyTech is established as a Technology-Based Company of the University of Alicante Science Park
2014
We developed several patents in the fields of feeding, breeding, self-harvesting of larvae and other auxiliary systems that represent the sector’s cutting-edge
2018
Moira enters the shareholder structure and invests in the first industrial plant with 1000 tonnes annual production
The key to success is the combination of scientific knowledge and business expertise
About the process
-
Waste sources
Larvae feed on low added value organic by-products and we obtain from the larvae biomass a high quality protein and rich functional fats
-
Protein meals and functional fats
This high quality protein is appropriate for animal feed, and its production is fully sustainable. The functional fats allow for a healthy growth
-
Enriched compost
The result of the production process is a 100% organic soil regenerator
-
We produce two types of ingredients
4 major benefits
More efficient
Insects convert food into biomass more efficiently than most living organisms. they need fewer resources than other livestock to produce protein and fat
Less polluting
In a production environment that is entirely closed from the outside, it emits fewer greenhouse gases than any other type of livestock breeding
Natural recyclers
The biomass assimilates nutrients from a wide range of co-products derived from agribusiness production. their role in the bio-economy is fundamental
Sustainable
In a context of scarce natural resources, we supply high added value ingredients, unaffected by climate phenomena
Intended for feed manufacturers
Substantial improvement of the Conversion Index significantly increasing the sustainability of production in both economic and environmental terms
We contribute to guaranteeing food safety in the future
