This week’s Insights Podcast is the second of three in our special series on the bioeconomy sponsored by the Greenspring Bioinnovation Lab and BioIndustrial Innovation Canada and features a very interesting conversation with Dr. Greg Wanger, the Founder & CEO of Oberland Agriscience.
Oberland has a brand new 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Ragged Lake that is nearing completion, which uses Black Soldier flies to produce fertilizer for the agricultural sector and feed for the pet food market and the aquaculture and farming sectors.
The plant, when fully operational, will divert 100 tons of organic waste from landfills daily to feed the Black Soldier flies to produce 20 tons of fertilizer and 20 tons of feed protein per day.
Before forming Oberland, Wanger worked with the Jet Propulsion Lab in California and helped develop equipment for the Mars Rover.
The company is proud to introduce the lowest carbon-footprint protein ingredient to the market and expects to be totally off the grid and using only renewable power soon.
Wanger is just getting going and plans more manufacturing facilities in the future.
