A biotechnology company has suggested using fly maggots to take a bite out of Hong Kong’s massive food waste problem, with plans already going ahead for a facility to use larvae to chew through chicken waste.

Organic Tech, a subsidiary of Baguio Green Group, one of the city’s main waste management companies, will set up a plant in Tuen Mun’s EcoPark in June, to convert 10 tonnes of chicken  – one-third of the city’s output – into about five tonnes of fertiliser and fish feed by September using black soldier fly larvae.
