Veolia Bioconversion Malaysia, part of the Veolia Group, which aims to become the benchmark company for ecological transformation, announced that it has officially received TRACES approval to export its insect meal Entomeal™ and insect oil Entolipid to European markets.
Veolia Bioconversion Malaysia Sdn Bhd has received approval from the Ministry of Agriculture in Malaysia to export Entomeal™, insect meal and Entolipid, insect oil into the European markets for use in pet food, aquaculture and livestock.
Insect meal Entomeal™ and insect oil Entolipid are produced with EU industrial standard and fully compliant with EU regulations to be used in animal feed applications. TRACES ensures the safety and full traceability from feedstock to finished products of our production. We aim to provide our clients with high product quality and consistent supply to meet the rising European market demands,” said company representatives.
Entomeal™ and Entolipid are produced in the optimal conditions in the region thanks to the local industrial know-how of Veolia Bioconversion Malaysia Sdn Bhd. The insect-based bioconversion consists in the transformation by Black Soldier Fly larvae of agrifood industrial by-products into highly valuable products: insect protein meal, insect oil and organic fertilizer. Everything produced by the bioconversion process can be used in agriculture, green energy production and animal feed.
According to the company’s statement, for 170 years Veolia helps its clients to optimize resource management, turning organic waste into valuable resources with best-in-class biological treatment solutions. Veolia’s ambition is to become the champion of ecological transformation. By placing innovation and decarbonization at the heart of its activities, Veolia is actively participating in the development of bioconversion. The bioconversion process is a sustainable alternative innovation with a low environmental impact to raise the global challenge of feeding 10 billion inhabitants by 2050, using less water, less energy and less land, and producing sustainable proteins for animal feed.
