By advancing insect protein production, OFM is looking to strengthen its market leadership and align with global trends in sustainable agriculture and circular economy practices.
When operational, Volare 01 will produce a volume of protein equivalent to 200 million Baltic herrings annually, roughly 18% of Finland’s total commercial fish catch in protein terms.
The study compared a conventional salmon diet with a 4% ProteinX insect meal, replacing soy protein concentrate.
Protix’s proposed facility in South Korea would be twice the size of its current site in the Netherlands, upcycling up to 130,000 tons of food waste annually.
The new line will allow Loop Pet Food to scale up to an impressive 60 tons per month.
