Garbage is one of the causes of a problem that is difficult to solve in Indonesia and even in other countries, many cities in Indonesia are filled with garbage. Maybe one of the factors is the scattering of garbage everywhere because humans themselves are lazy to throw away their place or are already accustomed to littering, causing rubbish to be scattered everywhere which can eventually lead to garbage pollution, unpleasant odors and ultimately can cause flooding. In this research, we will make a tool for sorting organic and inorganic waste, namely by making a tool such as a conveyor to sort the types of organic waste and the types of inorganic waste which will later be classified separately and collected in their own place so that they are not mixed together. To distinguish which organic and inorganic waste we will use a capacitive proximity sensor as a sorter, atmega 16 as a microcontroller to run all the work of the appliance system. DC motor as a conveyor drive. The LDR sensor detects the presence of waste. From the test, the organic and inorganic waste sorting tool has pretty good results with an average success rate of detecting organic waste of 66.67% and the success rate for inorganic waste is 63.33%.

Heavy metal bioaccumulation in prepupae of black soldier fly Hermetia Illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) cultured with organic wastes and chicken feed

Larvae of the black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens can be reared in large quantities on organic wastes. The larvae are harvested at the prepupal stage and used as feed for poultry and aquaculture. BSF farms in Nigeria make use of a combination of chicken feed and organic waste in the rearing processes. Chicken feed and organic waste can contain varying levels of heavy metals, which may accumulate in the larvae. The aim of this study was to determine bioaccumulation of heavy metals, cadmium chromium, copper, lead, and zinc, in prepupae cultured on chicken mash and various types of organic wastes (food waste, brewery waste, and fruit waste). Bioaccumulation of a particular heavy metal occurs when the concentration of the metal is higher in the harvested prepupae than in the feed substrates (Factor > 1). The results of the study showed that bioaccumulation was more likely to occur in brewery waste than in the other substrates, while bioaccumulation factors greater than one were reported for three of the five heavy metals (copper, lead and chromium). All heavy metal concentrations reported in the study were below the safe limits for use in animal feeds. The use of organic waste rather than chicken mash for rearing BSF larvae should be considered in Nigeria. However, there must be quality control measures in place to ensure that the larvae’s propensity for accumulating heavy metals are contained.

Evaluation of Microbiological Quality of Vermicompost Prepared from Different Types of Organic Wastes using Eisenia fetida

Background: Vermicomposting is the agricultural technique of conversion of organic wastes to a fertile product, which can result in better crop growth and production. However, even though earthworms are the main organisms participating in the process, the microbes associated with it also have an important role to play. These microbes degrade the waste products biochemically and are responsible of the conversion processes. Few studies are carried out on microbial diversity and related enzymes activities in the vermicompost prepared from different organic waste materials. Methods: In this paper, we isolated both bacteria and fungi from seven different types of vermicompost, using different selective media. We also studied the activity of hydrolytic enzymes that are associated with the isolated microbes.Result: It was observed that bacteria like Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Klebsiella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Micrococcus, Actinomycetes, Pigment producing Actinomycetes, Streptomyces, Azotobactor and fungi like Penicillium purpurogenum, Aspergillus sp., Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Rhizopus sp., Mucor hiemalis, Myrothecium verrucaria etc. were present in our vermicompost preparations. The presence of nitrogen fixing bacteria, phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and PGPR indicated the good fertilizer value of the vermicompost samples. It was also observed that the diversity of microbes present supported significant levels of CMCase Exoglucanase, Xylanase, β-Glucosidase, Phosphatase and Urease activities.

Technological Features of Biogas Production While Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Faecal Sludge, Sewage Sludge and Livestock

The article studies technical possibilities of co-digestion of various types of organic waste in order to increase biogas yield and to solve the problem of efficient disposal of faecal sludge. The objects of study were: faecal sludge from a septic tank, sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plant, cattle manure and poultry manure from a livestock farm. Technological features and determination of optimal operating parameters of organic waste anaerobic digestion were investigated. Priority composition of organic waste mixture for anaerobic digestion that provide the maximum biogas yield, as well as the ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus in the digestate was determined.

The use of unconventional organic waste for vermicomposting in Surgut greenhouses

The paper discusses the use of non-traditional types of organic waste in vermicomposting in greenhouses on the territory of the middle taiga forest zone of Western Siberia. Experimental studies were carried out in the laboratories of the scientific and educational center and the center for collective use of the Institute of Natural and Technical Sciences of Surgut State University in 20012020. The main objects of the study were brewers grains, waste from the production of the Kristal brewing company in Surgut and wastewater sludge from the treatment facilities of the Gorvodokanal in Surgut. Additionally, the composition of complex composts included sand, office waste paper, waste coffee, food waste, leaf and grass litter, bird droppings and the microbiological additive Tamir. The compost worms of the Eisenia foetida Prospector species were used as vermiculture. 10 juveniles were launched in the first series of experiments and 50 juvenile worms were launched in the second series. The resulting vermicomposting is more effective in quality than the original substrates. The use of the hybrid Prospector can be effectively used in the disposal of non-traditional organic waste. Complex composts mature more efficiently when microbiological additives are added. In the studied substrates the content of heavy metals was reduced to MPC norms.

Biogas Production Using Codigestion of Organic Residues with Malt Bagasse

This study evaluated the use of two anaerobic bioreactors in the production of biogas from malt bagasse waste. Bioreactor B1 was loaded with a mixture of 600mL of anaerobic sludge, 300g of organic waste, taken from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, and 300g of malt bagasse residue. Bioreactor B2 was loaded with a mixture of 600g of organic waste and 600mL of anaerobic sludge taken from an UASB reactor. The anaerobic digestion processes lasted for 10 weeks and the produced methane fraction was measured in 5 occasions. Bioreactor B1 presented low methane production (7.2%) but Bioreactor B2 showed a much more signif- icant percentage, reaching up to 48.3%. The experiments were capable of reproducing largescale operational conditions, enabling increased results in biogas capturing and processing, strengthening sustainability and energy efficiency. The experiment also showed the importance of studying different types of organic waste, seeking optimization of anaerobic digestion pro- cesses.

Uso potencial de resíduos de abatedouro de suínos como fonte de nutrientes na agricultura

O Brasil está entre os maiores produtores e exportadores mundiais de carne suína, com projeções de chegar a 3,7 Mt, em 2024. No entanto, esse cenário de expansão no setor se traduz também em produção de grande quantidade de resíduos de abate, muitas vezes conducente à contaminação do solo por metais e organismos patogênicos. Perante este contexto, faz-se necessário a utilização de estratégias que amenizem o potencial poluidor e que permitam o aproveitamento desse tipo de resíduo orgânico, através do uso na agricultura. Entre essas estratégias, processos de estabilização que possam auxiliar na eliminação ou redução para níveis seguros desses metais e organismos patogênicos podem ser uma possibilidade para o aproveitamento desse material como fonte orgânica de nutrientes para as plantas, através de sua utilização como fertilizante orgânico ou substrato para mudas, pelo seu potencial nutricional. Estudos que relatam o aproveitamento de resíduos de abatedouros provenientes da indústria de carnes como composto orgânico na agricultura são ainda insuficientes. Nesse sentido, a presente revisão bibliográfica tem por objetivo apresentar os problemas causados pelos resíduos de abatedouro de suínos quando aplicados irregularmente no solo, bem como alternativas para o seu aproveitamento na agricultura.

Effects of using lactic acid bacteria in the storage and subsequent anaerobic co-digestion of crushed kitchen garbage

Anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater sludge and other types of organic waste with high moisture content is a promising approach for energy recovery. A novel organic waste collection system that stores disposer-crushed kitchen garbage with lactic acid fermentation in personal wastewater treatment systems, such as Johkasou, is proposed for centralized anaerobic co-digestion. In storage experiments, lactic acid fermentation of artificial kitchen garbage, which was seeded with lactic acid bacteria at the beginning of storage, lowered the pH to 3, and suppressed the solubilization of suspended solids (SS). The addition of household wastewater sludge did not affect these processes. The SS preservation ratio and the biogas production potential ratio in the subsequent anaerobic digestion were approximately 0.8. These results indicate that the storage of crushed kitchen garbage by lactic acid fermentation is an accessible and effective option for the collection and anaerobic co-digestion of kitchen garbage from Johkasou.

Use of Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Food Waste Treatment and Energy Production in Asian Countries: A Review

Food waste accounts for a substantial portion of the organic waste generated at an increasing rate worldwide. Organic waste, including food waste, is largely subjected to landfill disposal, incineration, and anaerobic digestion; however, more sustainable methods are needed for treating it. Treatment of organic waste using black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae is an environmentally safe and cost-efficient method that has been attracting increasing attention worldwide. Black soldier fly decomposes various types of organic waste and converts them into high-value biomasses such as oils and proteins. This review introduces the trends in research related to the treatment of organic waste by black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) and their bioconversion efficiencies in Asian countries. Perspectives on the growth of BSFL during waste treatment operation and optimal rearing conditions are provided. The trends in studies related to the application of BSFL as biofuel and animal feed are also discussed. Such use of BSFL would be beneficial in Asia, especially in countries where the technology for processing organic waste is not readily available. This review may provide further directions of investigations including culture techniques for industrial scale applications of BSFL in food waste treatment and resource production in Asian countries.

Life on a piece of cake: performance and fatty acid profiles of black soldier fly larvae fed oilseed by-products

The oilseed crops Crambe abyssinica and Camelina sativa produce oils rich in erucic acid and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. After pressing the oil, a seed cake remains as a protein-rich by-product. Edible insects may convert this seed press cake and the defatted seed meal produced from it into insect biomass suitable for animal feed. Black soldier fly larvae (BSF, Hermetia illucens) can grow on a wide range of organic waste types, but may be hindered by excess protein or the plant toxins characteristic for these two oilseed crops, i.e. glucosinolates and their breakdown products. We tested the effects of 25, 50 and 100% oilseed by-product inclusion in the diet on survival, development, biomass production and fatty acid composition of BSF larvae. Larval performance on diets with up to 50% camelina by-product or 25% crambe by-product was similar to performance on control diet (chicken feed), and decreased with higher inclusion percentages. Larval fatty acid profiles differed significantly among diets, with larvae fed press cake more distinct from control than larvae fed seed meal. Larvae fed camelina press cake had more α-linolenic acid, whereas larvae fed crambe contained most oleic acid. The n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio decreased with increasing proportion of by-product, especially on camelina diets. Lauric acid content was highest in larvae fed 100% camelina meal or 50% crambe meal. These results indicate that BSF larvae can be successfully grown on diets with camelina or crambe oilseed by-products, and that the resulting larval n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio is favourable for animal feed. However, the fate of glucosinolates and their derivatives remains to be determined, to guarantee chemical safety of camelina- or crambe-fed BSF larvae for animal feed.

Abstract
 Garbage is something that disturbs and affects the community environment. Organic waste comes from living things, both humans, animals, and plants, so that it can be used for animal feed which is processed by chopping. As for the results of field observations at the Bangkinang Kota market, it can be seen that organic waste types of cabbage and mustard are commonly found in the Bangkinang Kota market, organic waste such as carrots, tomatoes, chilies, potatoes and kale are found in many trash cans but the amount is less, this type of waste dry. For the Bangkinang City area, waste transportation is carried out 2 (two) times a day, namely in the morning and evening. The most waste generated is on Wednesdays and Sundays, because those days are market days in Bangkinang Kota. The waste generated reaches 1-2 tons per day. The organic waste chopper generally consists of a frame, top casing, bottom casing, inlet, outlet, axle, bearing, and blade. The manufacture of this tool at the Laboratory of Industrial Engineering, Universitas Pahlawan Tuanku Tambusai. The design and manufacture of organic cattle feed chopper has a size of 38 cm, width 51 cm and height 120 cm, using a 7 hp/5600 rpm diesel engine with a weight of 72 kg. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that organic mixed vegetable waste weighing 2 kg only takes 22 seconds faster, while cabbage weighing 2 kg takes 37 seconds and mustard greens weighing 2 kg takes 29 seconds. The amount of organic waste that is chopped as much as 6 kg only takes 88 seconds.

The potential of organic waste as a substrate for anaerobic digestion in Ukraine: trend definitions

This article is devoted to the analysis and prospects of using different types of organic waste to achieve environmental goals. Due to the unique climate and natural resources, Ukraine has significant potential for biomass, the processing of which should solve urgent problems with the disposal of waste, as well as the production of alternative energy sources and biofertilizers. The preferred substrates for anaerobic digestion in Ukraine, considering the technological feasibility, availability, and volume are animal manure (cattle, pigs), bird droppings, plant residues, industrial sludge, common sludges. After analyzing the statistics for 2015-2019, the groups of dominant wastes were identified, and with the help of the built-in function "TREND," the forecast of the waste potential with an organic component for 2021-2026 was constructed. Examining the obtained indicators for different types of waste, the reasons for the tendency of decrease or increase in their formation in the next five years were revealed. The direction of enhancing the sustainability of bioenergy, achieving environmental goals through the bioprocessing of organic waste associated with the ecological safety of production processes were discussed.

Effect of Substrate Size and Stirring on the Effectiveness of Fermentation of Organic Waste Using Composter Cash

Based on studies and research conducted by several researchers, it was found that the parameters that affect the effectiveness of waste fermentation include stirring and chopping the substrate in addition to temperature conditioning, the type and intensity of adding bio activators, and the type of organic waste (substrate). This study aims to produce an innovative composter barrel product that has the function of stirring and chopping in one compact tool. Tool testing is directed at liquid fertilizer products that are produced with an approach to the appropriate type of test. The results of the research that have been done show that the variation of counting does not have a significant effect on the quality of the liquid fertilizer, while stirring is very influential. For this reason, the innovative composter vat is recommended to add a stirring component while chopping is not required.

Generation of bioelectricity from fruit waste

In this study, an alternative method is proposed for producing electricity using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and fruit waste in case of industries and farmers. Herein, MFCs were manufactured using zinc and copper electrodes and three types of organic waste (R. ulmifolius, H. undatus, and M. citrifolia) as the substrate. The results revealed that the H. undatus waste generated the highest voltage and current values, i.e., 1.17 ± 0.12 V and 25.78 ± 0.89 mA, respectively, in an open circuit. However, all the substrates exhibited acidic pH values. The H. undatus substrate reported the highest voltage, power density (PD), and current density (CD) values at a Vmax value of 1.11 ± 0.25 V, a PDmax value of 0.0719 ± 0.0012 W/cm2, and a CDmax value of 0.051 A/cm2. Conversely, the R. ulmifolius substrate exhibited the lowest values at a Vmax value of 0.96 ± 0.13 V, a PDmax value of 0.0668 ± 0.0013 W/cm2, and a CDmax value of 0.025 A/cm2. The micrographs denote that the Cu anode porosity of H. undatus is higher when compared with those of the remaining two substrates, and the Pichia guilliermondii, Candida boidinii, and Brevibacillus laterosporus microorganisms were observed in its anodic biofilm.

Potential of Producing Compost from Source-Separated Municipal Organic Waste (A Case Study in Shiraz, Iran)

Developing countries face serious environmental, social and economic challenges in managing different types of organic waste. Proper treatment strategies should be adopted by solid waste management systems in order to address these concerns. Among all of the treatment options for organic waste, composting is the most approved method as an effective strategy to divert solid waste from landfills. This experimental research aimed to examine the potential of producing compost from source-separated municipal organic waste in Shiraz, Iran. Market waste (fruits and vegetables) and garden waste (plant residues) were used as the raw input materials. They were subjected to the windrow pile composting method in an open site area. The process was monitored against several physical, chemical and biological parameters. In-situ measurements (temperature and moisture content) were carried out on a daily basis. Sampling and lab analyses were conducted over the period of the biological treatment. The final product was of acceptable moisture and nutrient levels, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Carbon/Nitrogen ratio. All of the analyzed compost samples had lower concentrations of heavy metals than the Iranian and German standards. Overall, the results obtained revealed that composting is a promising method for municipal organic waste treatment. The findings also imply the effectiveness of the source-separation collection method in the production of high-quality compost.

Screening of Effective Media for Black Soldier Fly Larvae Used in Food Waste Treatment

Objectives : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are organisms that effectively decompose various types of organic waste including food waste, and food waste treatment using BSFL is attracting attention as a sustainable waste treatment method. However, food waste discharged from Korea has a wide variety of properties, and its high salt concentration limits its treatment by BSFL. Therefore, to increase the efficiency of food waste treatment using BSFL, it is necessary to increase the quality of food waste as a production medium for BSFL. In this study, the ratio of protein and fat was adjusted by adding bean sprouts and wheat brans to food wastes treated at high temperature under vacuum, and whether such medium is suitable for rearing BSFL was investigated.Methods : To improve the medium, the ratio of protein and fat was adjusted to approximately 2:1 by adding bean sprouts and bran residue to food waste. Subsequently, the growth and development rate of BSFL reared on chicken feed, food waste, food waste + bean sprouts, food waste + wheat bran were measured. Also, the decomposition rate of each medium was analyzed.Results and Discussion : The growth rate of BSFL grown on food waste + wheat bran medium was similar to that of BSFL reared on chicken feed. The speed of development at day 7 was also the fastest for BSFL reared with food waste + wheat bran medium and chicken feed. These results suggest that the mixed medium to which wheat bran has been added to food waste has the potential to be used as a commercial medium for BSFL production. The survival rate of BSFL was 89% or higher in all media.Conclusions : When food waste was used alone, BSFL development was poor compared to that in media combined with agricultural by-products such as bean sprouts and wheat bran. Therefore, to use food waste as a rearing medium of BSFL, it is necessary to adjust the ratio of protein and fat by adding various agricultural by-products and reduce salinity. For the improvement of food waste treatment technology using BSFL, mass rearing of useful insects such as BSFL, and promotion of the use of agricultural by-products, additional research is needed to optimize the composition of rearing medium based on food waste.

UTILIZATION OF BLACK SOLDIER FLY (HERMETIA ILLUCENS) AS A PROBLEM SOLVE OF ORGANIC WASTE

Organic waste is a type of waste that has the largest amount in Indonesia. If it is not managed properly, organic waste can cause various problems. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to make an effort to utilize organic waste which also has high economic potential. One solution to this is the use of Black Soldier Fly larvae (Hermetia Illucens) as decomposers of organic matter. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the type of organic waste on the bioconversion of domestic waste using Black Soldier Fly larvae (Hermetia Illucens). This research was done using Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) larvae of 7 days old. Two hundred larvae were used for every feeding treatment and placed in a growing cage. The feed types and feeding frequencies were varied. The feed types were three different food waste materials, were mainly composed of cucumber, banana, and canteen’s waste. The larvae were fed with 40 mg of dry weight food waste/larvae.day. The feeding frequency was varied to once per day and once in four day periods. The weight of 10% of larvae per feeding treatment was measured every four days. At the end of the experiment, the residual feed material and characteristics were measured. The level of removal of vegetable waste, fruit waste, and food waste respectively 52 %; 51 %; 55 % on the frequency of feeding once in four days. At the frequency of feeding once a day, the results were 50 %, 62 %; 67%. The C / N ratio of vegetable waste, fruit waste, and food waste residue was 8,8; 10,1; and 11,9 for the frequency of feeding once in four days, and 8,3; 9,2; and 10,6 at the frequency of feeding once a day. The moisture content in the residue of vegetable waste, fruit waste, and food waste were 92,1% respectively; 74,7%; and 77,2% at the frequency of feeding once in four days and 95,2% respectively; 72,6%; and 82,7% at the frequency of feeding once. The pH value of vegetable waste, fruit waste, and food waste is 5,54 respectively; 4,21; and 4,18 for the frequency of feeding once in four days, and 5,47 each; 5,00; and 4,16 for the frequency of feeding once a day. The suggestion for further research is that further research is needed on the effect of the acidity of the food on the mortality rate of the larvae so that the optimum pH for the growth of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) larvae can be found.

Waste to Energy: A Focus on the Impact of Substrate Type in Biogas Production

Anaerobic digestion is an efficient technology for a sustainable conversion of various organic wastes such as animal manure, municipal solid waste, agricultural residues and industrial waste into biogas. This technology offers a unique set of benefits, some of which include a good waste management technique, enhancement in the ecology of rural areas, improvement in health through a decrease of pathogens and optimization of the energy consumption of communities. The biogas produced through anaerobic digestion varies in composition, but it consists mainly of carbon dioxide methane together with a low quantity of trace gases. The variation in biogas composition are dependent on some factors namely the substrate type being digested, pH, operating temperature, organic loading rate, hydraulic retention time and digester design. However, the type of substrate used is of greater interest due to the direct dependency of microorganism activities on the nutritional composition of the substrate. Therefore, the aim of this review study is to provide a detailed analysis of the various types of organic wastes that have been used as a substrate for the sustainable production of biogas. Biogas formation from various substrates reported in the literature were investigated, an analysis and characterization of these substrates provided the pro and cons associated with each substrate. The findings obtained showed that the methane yield for all animal manure varied from 157 to 500 mL/gVS with goat and pig manure superseding the other animal manure whereas lignocellulose biomass varied from 160 to 212 mL/gVS. In addition, organic municipal solid waste and industrial waste showed methane yield in the ranges of 143–516 mL/gVS and 25–429 mL/gVS respectively. These variations in methane yield are primarily attributed to the nutritional composition of the various substrates.

Biofermentation of organic waste from a pig-breeding complex in a drum-type installa-tion

Relevance. In modern pig-breeding complexes, manure is processed by separation producing the liquid and solid manure fractions. The complexes also generate other types of organic waste. Testing the process of producing the organic fertilizer based on the solid organic waste of a pig-breeding complex in a drum-type biofermenter.Material and methods. The processing of a mixture of two types of solid fractions of pig slurry and the waste from mechanical cleaning of grain into an organic fertilizer in a drum-type biofermentation unit was tested. The tested material was produced on the pig-breeding complex with the closed production cycle located in Leningrad Region. The optimization criterion was the temperature of the mixture in the installation. The controlling factors were the aeration frequency, the air supply rate to the biofermenter, and the rotation interval of the drum. Assumed values of the tested factors were: the moisture content of the mixture of 55–65% and the density of the mixture of 400– 600 kg/m3. The standard methods for statistical and experimental data analysis were applied.Results. Four operation modes of the biofermenter were tested, of which only one allowed to achieve the heating of the mixture above 55 °C and a stable course of the biofermentation process. Under this mode, the aeration rate was 5 min/h; the air supply rate to the biofermenter was 10 m/s; and the drum rotation interval was every 12 hours. The significance of the factors in a multivariate experiment was considered; the mathematical model was analyzed using the steepest ascent method. Considering the identified operation mode, 12 drum-type biofermenters with the working volume of 31.3 m3 each will be needed to process the solid fraction of manure produced on the pig-breeding complex with the animal stock of 107,000 head and the output of the solid fraction of manure of 90 tons per day. A building with a floor area of 1000 m2 will be required to place these biofermenters. This area is 113.4 times smaller than the area of the watertight pad for clamps to process the manure by the passive composting technology. Nitrogen emissions will be reduced by 6.3% owing to the intense mineralization of nitrogen in the fermented mixture.

The Digestibility of Banana Peel and Testa coconut and Its Effects on the Growth and Mortality of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) at Constant Feeding Rates

Organic waste produced by economic activities may create health, aesthetic, and economic problems. One of the approaches applied to solve this problem is the utilization of decomposer macrofauna to decompose the waste. One of the decomposers with great potential is Black Soldier Fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) that can consume various types of organic wastes and converts it into biomass with high protein and lipid content. In this study, banana peels and coconut testa had been fed to the larvae at 200 mg/larvae/day as the objects that represented organic wastes with low fiber content and high fiber content respectively. The purpose of this study was to observe the growth and efficiency of BSF larvae in decomposing those wastes. The analysis was conducted on some parameters such as the growth and consumption rate, the efficiency of conversion of digested (ECD), waste reduction index, and mortality rate. The results showed that BSF larvae THAT consumed banana peel had a higher final weight (58.24 mg), growth rate, and consumption rate while the mortality rate was lower than BSF larvae that consumed coconut testa. The ECD of the larvae group that consumed banana peel was higher than the larvae group that consumed coconut testa. The waste reduction index of banana peel was higher than coconut testa (1.5 and 1.4, respectively). The larvae that consumed coconut testa had a longer pupation period (9±1,75 days) compared to the larvae that consumed banana peel. Based on this result, it can be concluded that the fiber content of organic waste affected the decomposition rate and growth of BSF larvae.
