Abstract

Fruit and vegetable waste accounts for approximately 36% of total food waste in Indonesia. The accumulation of this waste in landfills contributes to increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and environmental pollution through leachate production. Treatment using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae offers an efficient and sustainable alternative, with lower GHG emissions compared to composting or anaerobic digestion. This study aimed to evaluate the bioconversion efficiency of BSF larvae in reducing fruit and vegetable waste (specifically cabbage, water spinach, spinach, mustard greens, watermelon, melon, banana, and papaya) by analyzing the transformation of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) into larval biomass and residue. Substrate compositions were varied with vegetable-to-fruit ratios of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 (w/w), and larval densities of 1, 2, and 4 larvae/cm² were tested. Results showed that carbon and nitrogen conversion into larval biomass ranged from 7.92–17.59% and 4.96–21.69%, respectively, while conversion into residue ranged from 22.53–63.75% for carbon and 18.12–80.78% for nitrogen. The substrate with a 90:10 vegetable-to-fruit ratio produced the highest conversion efficiency. The values of Approximate Digestibility (AD), Efficiency of Conversion of Digested Food (ECD), and Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested Food (ECI) ranged from 32.44–74.71%, 17.68–42.96%, and 8.09–18.64%, respectively. The larval survival rates reached 95.61%. Furthermore, BSF bioconversion generated the lowest GHG emissions among all compared waste treatment methods, with a value of 102.27 g CO₂ eq/kg of waste. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of BSF larvae in managing fruit and vegetable waste while minimizing environmental impact, providing a foundation for further optimization in sustainable waste valorization systems.

Abstract

Waste management remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas. Bioconversion using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) presents a sustainable solution for transforming organic waste into high-value biomass rich in protein and fat. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential utilization of organic waste from markets, bakeries, and rejected products from the food and beverage (F&B) industry (specifically creamer and milk), as BSFL substrates, while mapping the existing bioconversion sites. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and field measurements. Primary data included location details, technical specifications, implementation constraints, and BSFL bioconversion sites. Waste composition was analyzed via Loud Count Analysis during a 4-day sampling period. This research was conducted in Surabaya City and its surroundings. The results indicate that market waste mostly consists of dark green vegetables (26.5%), other vegetables (64.1%), and year-round fruits (53.9%). Furthermore, the daily average rejected bread is 2.6-2.7 kg. Rejected foods and beverages include creamers, liquids, and sweetened condensed milk. The facility processes 16.16 tons/day of substrate potential, producing 44.61 tons fresh larvae and 53.85 tons frass, with profits of IDR 58.1-969.6 million. The findings demonstrate significant potential for utilizing local organic waste as BSFL substrates in the study area.

Abstract

Secondary sludge generated from aerobic biological treatment in beverage industry wastewater plants is produced in large quantities and contains essential nutrients that offer potential for beneficial reuse. This study evaluates the utilization of non-hazardous secondary sludge as planting media by characterizing sludge properties and assessing its performance when mixed with three different type of soils (Soil A, B, and C) and amendments. Sludge cake was blended with each soil type as a control, and further treatments incorporated (a) dolomite, (b) Trichoderma sp., and (c) a combination of both amendments. The mixtures were monitored over two weeks for C/N ratio and N, P, K content, following compost quality parameters. Results indicate that most mixtures achieved a C/N ratio ≥10 after two weeks, except for Soil A with and without dolomite. All treatments exceeded the minimum compost nutrient requirements set by SNI 19-7030-2004. The application of Trichoderma sp. produced the highest nutrient enhancement, with nitrogen reaching 1.8% and phosphorus reaching 4.0% in sludge–Soil C mixtures, while potassium peaked at 0.4% in sludge–Soil B with Trichoderma sp. These findings confirm that secondary sludge from beverage industry WWTPs can be processed into viable planting media or compost substitutes, supporting sustainable sludge management and circular economy practices.
