On April 23, 2026, the WITS Group, accompanied by the Jakarta Environmental Agency (DLH), visited the Biomagg facility with the primary objective of learning firsthand about the maggot-based organic waste processing process. This activity is part of WITS Group’s efforts to explore various more effective waste management approaches, particularly for addressing the organic fraction that currently dominates waste composition in many areas.
Biomagg is known as an industry player focused on utilizing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, or maggots, as a solution for organic waste processing. During this visit, the WITS Group team received a comprehensive explanation of the process, from organic waste receipt, initial sorting, and feeding the maggots. The organic waste used generally comes from food scraps and market waste, which are then processed by the maggots through a natural bioconversion process.
In practice, maggots are capable of decomposing organic waste very quickly, while significantly reducing waste volume. Furthermore, the results of this process also have economic value, as the grown maggots can be used as high-protein animal feed, while the remaining processing residue can be used as organic fertilizer.
During the visit, the WITS Group also directly observed the operational conditions of the Biomagg facility, including the environmental management system, odor control, and process efficiency. Interactive discussions between the two parties also explored the potential for developing this system on a larger scale, as well as opportunities for integration with other waste processing technologies to create a more comprehensive system.
This visit provided WITS Group with important insights into the application of biology-based technology in organic waste management. With a relatively simple yet effective approach, maggot cultivation is a promising alternative solution for reducing the burden on landfills while creating added value from waste.
Through this activity, the WITS Group and Biomagg are opening up opportunities for future collaboration in developing an integrated and sustainable waste processing system. The synergy between technological approaches and nature-based solutions is expected to be a concrete step in addressing the challenges of waste management in Indonesia.
