5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ephantus Kung’u Entomologist, Akiba Mashinani Trust:
"The people tend to throw (their waste away), they don’t categorize their waste so they tend to put organic waste in plastic bags, then they just litter and this waste in the organic bag will not decompose inside there, so it just ends up clogging. So clogging deals with both, plastic and the organic."
6. Various of workers sorting through wheat bran mixed with water
7. Close of wheat bran mixed with water, a substrate for feeding 5-day-old black soldier fly larvae
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ephantus Kung’u Entomologist, Akiba Mashinani Trust:
"To eliminate that need for putting organic waste into plastic bags and other plastic containers, that is why we came up with the BSF, black soldier fly units, that tend to consume more organic waste and solve that issue of organic waste in the street."
9. Various of agronomist Bernadette Kosgei and workers collecting eggs of black soldier flies
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Bernadette Kosgei, Agronomist and trainer at Miramar International College:
"When we have a small rain or even like what we had, the floods that we had recently, we normally experience a lot of challenges here in the informal settlements where we have serious flooding, because the water doesn’t have a way to get itself into the rivers because the waste has blocked (the routes) all over here."
11. Various of workers sorting through developing black soldier flies
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Bernadette Kosgei, Agronomist and trainer at Miramar International College:
"The black soldier fly can consume a lot of waste. It has a ferocious appetite for waste. For example now this particular unit can process six tonnes of waste in a month."
13. Various of workers sifting waste remains after they have been consumed by the black soldier flies
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Bernadette Kosgei, Agronomist and trainer at Miramar International College:
"The waste that would have alternatively been left around to decompose and release a lot of greenhouse gases – the methane, the carbon dioxide – that would have otherwise escaped into the air and caused global warming, we are able to sequester that carbon through the black soldier fly. So we convert it into protein and that again goes back and is used as animal feeds."
15. Various of food waste and workers sorting through food waste
16. Various of 5-day-old black soldier fly larvae eating compost
