Inseco (Pty) Ltd.

Inseco (Pty) Ltd. is located in Cape Town, South Africa on 35 Carstens St, Tamboerskloof,. Inseco (Pty) Ltd. is rated 3 out of 5 in the category biotechnology company in South Africa. Inseco was formed to reimagine and reinvent the unsustainable global animal-feed and human food industries. Through understanding the nexus between engineering, entomology and biomimicry we believe that we can recreate the unsustainable value-chain which currently surrounds the production and use of food and feed in our world. Over the last two and a half years, the company has developed a proprietary production system that valorizes various types of organic waste into insect protein that acts as a novel replacement of fishmeal and soymeal. From an environmental perspective, the insect protein utilizes 7000% less land than soymeal production, emits 47x less greenhouse gas emissions than windrow composting and has a substantially lower production cost than fishmeal, having the ability to save livestock farmers up to 25% in feed costs. Additionally, for every ton of fishmeal that is replaced by Inseco’s insect protein, 3.5 tons of wild-caught fish are left in the ocean. Inseco has developed an operating system for organic waste beneficiation using insect bio-conversion technology. Our end product – Black Soldier Fly (BSF) protein – can account for the pricing and environmental limitations of conventional protein production within both human food and animal feed production value chains. We aim to be at the forefront of nutrient recycling within Africa and, in so doing, redefine our approach to resource creation & dependency, waste management and community development.
