The Hill’s Sustainability Report — Presented by NextEra Energy — Philippine flies turn trash into beef – Happy Fly-day. Welcome to Equilibrium, a newsletter that tracks the growing global battle over the future of sustainability. The Philippine city of Davao has faced an inundation of trash, due to a population boom of 60 percent over the past 20 years. So much trash, in fact, that it has considered burning it for energy, Bong S. Sarmiento reported for Mongabay. But startup Five DOL Upcycling Corp. had a better idea: enlisting black soldier flies to ravage kitchen waste — effectively burning the trash as calories to grow their bodies. But that’s not all. As the flies consume copious amounts of food scraps during their larval stage, they also grow rich in protein that could serve as a more sustainable substitute for today’s livestock feeds, Mongabay reported.
