Utilising billions of insects in order to transform food waste into a source of environmentally-friendly proteins. We are working with nature in order to help nature.
Entosystem uses cutting edge insect breeding technology in order to position itself as a major player in the field of agricultural circular economy. We produce entomological proteins and flour derived from insects with added value, by allowing, on the one hand, the recuperation of the nutritional value from food waste, and, on the other, a better control of food safety.
40%
In Canada close to 40% of the food produced ends up in the waste bin. This represents more than 30 million dollars lost in food products per year. Thanks to our technology, a part of these food products will be recycled and reused.

Partners
To develop the production chain of insect flours, Entosystem relies on the support of federal, provincial, municipal and private partners.
Thanks to its partners, Entosystem plans to divert 40 000 tons of organic materials per year, produce 5 tons of flour and 7 tons of organic fertiliser per day, as well as create over 20 new employment opportunities in the Estrie region.
