Abstract Waste that is not handled correctly can cause problems for humans and the environment. Therefore, proper waste management efforts are needed to solve this waste problem. One method of processing organic waste is the use of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. Larvae BSF can degrade organic waste, and the life cycle of BSF acts as a decomposer. This study examines BSF larvae’s ability to decompose biodegradable organic waste, especially for banana waste, cucumber waste, and food waste in the Diponegoro University environment, and to decide the effect of the variable type of food. The frequency of feeding carried out on the growth rate of BSF larvae and to choose the decomposition results of biodegradable organic waste carried out by BSF larvae. This research method is carried out by comparing the effectiveness of waste degradation by BFS with EM4. The value of significance in degrading waste is obtained from the calculation of the Waste Reduction Index, or it can be called WRI. The analysis results show that the WRI value in waste processing using BFS is more significant than in waste processing using EM4. That concludes that BSF fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) effectively reduce organic waste compared to EM4.

Research and development of technologies for breeding, cultivation and use of insects is an important task of the modern national economy, the solution of which can reduce the technogenic load on natural ecosystems. The Black Soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a very promising biological species that allows to obtain the following types of products: biomass of the Black Lion fly (Hermetia illucens) fly larvae, which can be processed into animal protein (protein meal) and lipid concentrate (oil); zoo compost obtained after the separation of the Black Soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens). Due to their evolutionarily developed mechanisms of surviving in a chemically and bacteriologically aggressive environment, the larvae of the Hermetia illucens fly are able to successfully endure and neutralize many toxic components of the substrate, which is an important factor in their breeding and use for waste processing.

Larvae are the longest phase in the life cycle of Black Soldier Fly (BSF), making them classified as bioconversion agents. This study aims to determine the protein and fat levels of Black Soldier Fly larvae that are fed with different organic wastes (cabbage, tomatoes, carrots and a mixture of all three). This study is an experimental study using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and six replications. The four treatments are P1 (6 kg mixed cabbage, tomato, and carrot waste), P2 (6 kg cabbage waste), P3 (6 kg tomato waste), and P4 (6 kg carrot waste). The research was conducted for 12 days using 5day-old larvae. Collected data were analyzed using a one-way Variance of Analysis (ANOVA) method. The results showed a significant difference (P <0.01) between mixed media, cabbage media, tomato media, and carrot media with the highest average protein content found in tomato media 11,4267. While the fat level test did not show a significant difference (P> 0.05) with the highest average fat content found in carrot media by 0.9533. The nutrition of Black Soldier Fly larvae is greatly influenced by the breeding media. Different nutrients will cause different nutrient content in the larvae.

Technological innovation in rural areas guarantees the maintenance and subsistence  of rural producers. Additionally, it is mandatory to use strategies aimed at reducing costs in animal production and reducing the environmental impact involved, making it challenging in the current global scenario. Thus, it is necessary to develop new alternative methods of production aimed at small scales, which can be implemented in small properties with reduced capital investment. In this sense, the objective was to describe the development of a system capable of inducing the production of black soldier fly larvae-BSFL (Hermetia illucens) through the attractiveness of egg laying of wild adults. To make the larvae production system, the following were needed: a plastic drum, with a capacity of 200 liters, 10 meters of 8mm silk rope, 1.5 m2 of wire mesh with 25mm x 20mm mesh, 1 m2 3mm x 2mm nylon mesh, plastic faucet for draining the slurry, one meter of 20mm diameter hose, two plastic containers with capacity of 20 liters for collecting the slurry and pre-pupae; besides equipment for cutting and finishing the drum. The System was supplied with organic plant material from daily household disposal, and other plant residues produced on the property. The development of this System can provide great social and economic viability, as it can be implemented in small rural properties for the treatment of organic waste. The mechanism presented good performance for the recycling of organic waste, and also for the production of BSFL, with satisfactory quantity collected daily.

Given the increasing need for (more sustainable) methods to upcycle organic waste streams, the interest to rear insects, like black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), on such streams is increasing. This study reveals that S. aureus is abundantly present in such waste streams, which might be a point of attention for insect producers.
