Composting Fruit and Vegetable Waste Using Black Soldier Fly Larvae

In recent years, the amount of solid waste generated has been increasing, and larger land space is needed for disposal waste. One ways to deal with limited landfill by composting organic using black soldier fly larvae. This study aims determine percentage BSFL growth assess effectiveness in fruits, boiled vegetables, raw vegetables. The used this was collected from college cafeteria sorted into three categories, 100g each category placed different containers. Two sets experiments were carried out an initial weight 2g 4g BSFL. Within 17-days experiment, composted measured every or four days, also additional new added containers until reached a total 500g. fed fruit highest 1700% relative their 2g. higher density showed lower 1200%. Fruit reduction 57%. proven that more suitable medium larval compared vegetable use effective method reducing wastes disposed landfills.
