THE STORY OF TRASH

LARVA YUM'S STORY

Creating a new life for organic waste

Do you know?

Organic waste is a precious resource that is currently covering more than 70% of Vietnamese municipal waste. However, it is not appreciated because of the thought “garbage is a foul, dirty thing”. Therefore, most of the organic waste from restaurants, eateries, processing factories, and farmers' markets… is sent to landfills for burial, burning, or destruction.

Not only that, people are also exploiting the marine fish resources, even plundering small litters of fish to use in the animal feed processing industry.

Following Green Connect's Green projects, Larva Yum was born from the concerns of a young team with the desire to use black soldier fly larvae to upgrade organic waste to many valuable agricultural products and contribute to reducing the current problem of eradication of fishing.

Moving towards to sustainable development goals

Goal 8: Decent work and
economic growth

Domestically produced animal feed is 20-40% cheaper than imported ones. Larval protein prevents overfishing for protein, which depletes ocean wildlife populations

Goal 9: Industry, innovation, and
infrastructure

Food waste is dispersed, so it has less odor and is easy to classify and handle. Vacant land in the city is utilized. Breeding areas in industrial zones are clean.

Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities

Garbage becomes a valuable resource instead of a waste of money to bury and burn. Plastic waste is easier to classify and recycle.

Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production

Companies dispatch staff to collect and sort garbage before delivery. This limits the use of plastic bags.

Goal 13: Climate action

Community joins hands to ease all stages, from the collection, transportation, and processing to consumption

Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

Provide input for livestock and confectionery businesses. Contribution to partners' achievement of the goal of circulating waste towards EPR.
