INVERTAPRO AS

In Voss, larvae from black soldier flies are produced using food waste from fruit and vegetable production that is not suitable for human food or animal feed. This ensures efficient utilization of nutrients in the waste. The larvae are then dried and sold as feed supplements for hens or processed into insect meal and insect oil used in animal feed and as feed for farmed salmon. Invertapro uses residual raw materials and former foodstuffs from our local area, and everything that does not become protein-rich larvae goes back as nutrient-rich fertilizer. In this way, no resources are wasted in our production, and we contribute to a more circular and sustainable value chain.

The fertilizer is made from larva droppings, together with small fragments of larva shells, and is developed to supply the soil with organic material and nutrients in an environmentally friendly way. The brand is called Bløme and contains NPK 3.5-1.5-2.5, in addition to important micronutrients that support optimal plant growth. Much of the nutrition in Bløme is organically bound. This means that the nutrients are initially only available to the microorganisms in the soil, which over time break it down so it becomes available to the plants. In this way the plants get stable access to nutrients throughout the growing season, while the soil is improved.
