15 April 2025 – Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) has introduced an innovative alternative solution using Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as an organic waste management method and sustainable protein source.

The project, led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hasliza Abu Hassim, aims to address the issue of food waste pollution through a green biotechnology approach, in addition to producing compost fertilizer and environmentally friendly animal feed.

According to Dr. Hasliza in an interview with TV9 on 15 April 2025, BSFL larvae have great potential in reducing dependence on conventional resources, thus contributing to the country's circular economy.

This effort reflects UPM's commitment to strengthening research that supports environmental sustainability and sustainable innovation.
