aBOUT ENTHOS
VISION
From waste to food. We strive to become the premier supplier of insect-derived animal feed from food waste in the Americas.
MISSION
To feed ever more people and reduce growing waste volumes. By converting waste back into food, Enthos contributes to establishing a circular food economy and more sustainable food production.
Enthos 1
ENTHOS 1 will be the first commercial scale plant in Latin America dedicated to use insects to upcycle organic waste into food grade protein and oil, products with a ready market in the animal feed industry.
The conversion of waste to food is achieved via the larvae of the Black
Soldier Fly, which consumes the waste and is harvested before fully
maturing and then processed into animal feed ingredients.
We can leverage the competitive advantage of producing in Colombia thanks to the expertise and experience the Enthos’ partner team has in the most important aspect for successful implementation: The operational and engineering component of processing organic residues and animal protein and the nutritional science behind creating high-quality animal feed.
