A Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms（黄粉虫）before turning them into fish feed（饲料），aiming to cut the country's use of imported feed and offer a continuous alternative.
Blue Aqua International will partner with Dnata,an air and travel services provider,to change organic waste at Singapore's Changi Airport into insect protein for aquacultural（水产养殖）use,according to a statement Tuesday.
The project looks to replace traditional fish and soybean meal as the main sources of protein for aquafeed.The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein.The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.
These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems.Using a small land and giving out less carbon,they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein.Ynsect SAS，a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets,attracted money from investors including Iron Man movie actor Robert Downey Jr.in a round of fund-raising last year.
The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed,which is traditionally bought from abroad.The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 per cent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030.It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then.Presently,less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.
As part of the partnership,Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.
