Khepri Onsite Waste Bioconversion Units
The Khepri Bioconversion Facility tackles the global challenge of organic waste management, which significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. The facility employs innovative onsite bioconversion technology to convert food waste into valuable byproducts, such as Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae for animal feed and insect frass for organic fertilizer. This solution not only diverts waste from landfills but also reduces environmental pollution and promotes sustainable agricultural practices.

The typical implementation period for a bioconversion facility ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on site-specific conditions and client needs.
The practice is currently implemented in Gauteng, South Africa, with plans to expand to other provinces, including Free State, KZN, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo.
Khepri Innovations' bioconversion units are distinguished by their high efficiency, converting 56% of organic waste into usable byproducts. The units feature advanced data collection for waste and greenhouse gas metrics, enhancing compliance with environmental regulations such as NEMA and enabling monetization through carbon credits. The compact, modular design allows easy integration into diverse settings.
