11 YEARS OF WASTE TREATMENT EXPERIENCE USING INSECTS
BSF solutions up to now have not proven viable due to the cost of the technology and the infancy of the industry. However, companies have started to focus on parts of the value chain, thereby improving the economics of the entire system. It is the integration of these components that will make BSF technologies a true part of our collective futures.
