From the process come larvae and compost.
Composting of waste streams via housefly larvae takes about four days. The composting process of Amusca via larvae produces minimal amounts of ammonia and sulphur compounds.
High-quality processing of waste streams into compost provides significant climate benefits. Compost and larvae bind CO₂ and N, providing CO₂/N savings. In particular, compost in potting soil provides significant CO₂ savings. By producing larvae, the CO₂ savings are many times higher.
