Publisher: [Iloilo City] : [Ateneo de Iloilo], c2023Description: 28 p.Subject(s): Black Soldier Fly Larvae | Refuse and refuse disposal--ResearchDDC classification: Ref 373.07 Ef365b 2023 Summary: The issue of solid waste management in the Philippines has been growing in prevalence over the past few years, with millions of tons of solid waste being produced annually. Recycling, composting and resource reduction are some of the primary methods employed in minimizing the buildup of municipal solid waste. Facilities such as landfills, and transport stations are where these wastes are kept and contained. This study hopes to identify the efficiency of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) Larvae in consuming different categories of waste and hopefully present an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution to this problem. The larvae were put into four separate enclosures with different categories of waste (residential kitchen waste, school cafeteria waste, fruit farm compost waste, and mixed waste). The larvae and waste were weighed and distributed evenly into each container, and the larvae were made to consume these for a total of three twenty-four hour periods. Among the 4 categories of waste, the Farm Waste had the smallest reduction in mass in comparison to the other 3 categories.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
