Nambu is an early stage Insect Protein Company that turns food and other organic waste streams into high value feed for chickens, pigs, fish and pets. We do this by feeding a variety of waste sources to the Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) larvae – otherwise known as BSFL. The larvae are reared from hatchlings to harvest in a period of 15-17 days, at which point they are separated from their feed substrate and prepared for either sale as live larvae to local farmers, or further processed into a dried larvae or meal for sale into the feed industry. We are currently in the processes of pursuing a novel, insect based, pet feed for the local and international market. Our process releases up to half of the CO2 emissions as composting or landfill, and has a high value soil amendment (insect frass) as a byproduct.

Our aim to become the largest producer of insect protein on the African continent – supporting a more resilient and sustainable food system that drives regenerative agricultural practices, nutrient recycling, employment creation and equitable wealth generation.

Since opening our doors in 2014, we have been producing high-quality organic compost-based products which are used to increase soil productivity by adding essential growth nutrients and healthy microbiota to the soil.
We take pride in our role as an Organic Waste Recycler. By ensuring that organic waste materials do not end up in landfill sites, we are actively decreasing a major source of carbon emissions. When Organic Waste is allowed to go to landfills, the surrounding plastics cause anaerobic decomposition and methanogenesis to take place which results in large emissions of Methane and Carbon Dioxide. This is why we are proud to say that every ton of organic waste recycled by us is a ton of carbon not emitted into the atmosphere. 
PolyOrganics (Pty) Ltd is a registered Group 2 fertiliser producer (reg no. B5087) as per Act 36 of 1947."
