Bogor, Indonesia: The Black Soldier Fly as a Waste Management Alternative

Circle City Scan Tool Case Study

Organic waste management is an ongoing challenge in Bogor; over half of all waste in the city’s main landfill is organic. To combat this problem, the Environment Agency of Bogor City initiated an organic waste management protocol using the black soldier fly (BSF). Implementation of the BSF initiative has already succeeded in reducing the city’s daily organic waste by 2 tons.

This case study was developed as part of the Circle City Scan Tool pilot. Learn more about the project.

About ICLEI Circulars

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability is a global network working with more than 2500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Active in 125+ countries, we influence sustainability policy and drive local action for low emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development.

Circular Development is one of ICLEI´s five strategic pathways towards sustainable urban development. Through the Circular Development pathway, local and regional governments decouple urban and economic development from resource consumption, encourage equitable access to resources and create closed-loop urban and peri-urban systems. They support new local economies that are productive and not extractive, where resources are exchanged and not wasted.

ICLEI Circulars is managed by the Circular Development Team at the World Secretariat (Bonn) in close collaboration with the ICLEI Regional Offices around the world.
