What's the Problem?

ByBug was created to address several critical challenges in biomanufacturing, especially the scarcity of adequate infrastructure to develop and produce essential bioproducts. Traditional infrastructure is costly and inefficient, limiting the ability to innovate and scale. In addition, there is an environmental problem: conventional production generates a lot of waste and a significant ecological footprint. ByBug offers a sustainable solution using insects and genetic engineering to transform agri-food by-products into valuable products, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.

How are they Solving it?

ByBug offers an innovative solution by using insect larvae as bioreactors to transform organic waste into recombinant proteins and other bioinputs through a carbon negative process. We take advantage of the natural ability of black soldier fly larvae to feed on organic waste and produce proteins. We combine this with synthetic biology and genetic engineering, creating a low-cost, scalable and sustainable recombinant protein expression system that promotes a circular economy.
