Electroconductive Bionanocomposites from Black Soldier Fly Proteins for Green Flexible Electronics.

Printed and flexible electronics hold the potential to revolutionize the world of electronic devices. A primary focus today is their circularity, which can be achieved by using biobased materials. In this study, electrically conductive bionanocomposite materials suitable for flexible electronics were fabricated using proteins from the black soldier fly (BSF, ).

Valorization of organic waste through black soldier fly: On the way of a real circular bioeconomy process.

The transition from a linear to a circular production system involves transforming waste into valuable resources. Insect-mediated bioconversion, particularly using black soldier fly (BSF) larvae, can offer a promising opportunity to convert the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) into protein-rich biomass. However, current regulatory restrictions do not allow the use of this substrate to obtain insect proteins for animal feed, prompting the exploration of other applications, such as the production of bioplastics.
