Do you want to help change how waste is managed in Broome, just by looking in your backyard?
Are you:
✔Based in Broome.
✔Have a bokashi system, compost bin or worm farm? 🐛

Waste Not are asking for help in identifying and accessing areas in Broome where the local Black Soldier Fly and their larvae hang out.

We will use the larvae to build our captive colony, who help us keep food waste out of landfill!

Have a look in your backyard and get in touch if you see them. Help us fight food waste 🍌🍕🍞

Big news this week for Waste Not Food Recycling. We were announced as a successful recipient of a Regional Economic Development grant. This will fund some of our capital expenditure required towards getting a Broome based pilot plant up and running. Very grateful to Minister MacTiernan and the Labour State Government for seeing the potential for organic waste management and regional aquaculture, and supporting the project. Big months ahead getting the pilot set up!

Farming Black Soldier Flies doesn’t sound particularly glamorous, but this is innovation at its best.

Waste Not Food Recycling is setting up northern WA’s first fly farm - they will take organic waste from across Broome, feed it to Black Soldier Fly larvae, then use the high-protein larvae as feed for the aquaculture industry.

This reduces waste in the North West, creates a quality feed source for our local aquaculture industries, and will drive new job opportunities in Broome.

Waste Not Food Recycling was founded by Broome’s Lauren Bell, Runner-Up in the 2020 WA AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award - and we’re supporting the project with a $97,000 RED Grant.

Imaginative WA women like Lauren are seeing insect farming can create ingenious answers for waste management and sustainable protein manufacturing - exciting stuff for the Kimberley!

Camping on Yindjibarndi country, just outside Millstream NP. Nothing like a few nights out bush, under the stars to refresh and be reminded of our passion for Australia's natural beauty. This is what drives us to want to manage waste in regional and remote areas better!!!

'Building resilient regional economics, not landfills'.
This is our companies vision statement! How do we achieve this? By redirecting organic waste away from landfill, and upcycling it into products that are valued by local industries. We contribute to the local circular economy while creating jobs and industry diversification!
