The Problems
The Food We Throw Away Produces CO2
Plastic Pollutes Our Land And Water
Global Deforestation Contributes To Climate Change
Our Research
THE EFFECT OF WASTE FOOD DIETS ON MEALWORMS
In an 8 month study we explored the feasibility of feeding waste food to mealworms. This novel approach has the potential to eliminate 3 billion metric tonnes of CO2 from our environment every year.
Using the shells of the mealworm beetle we created a completely biodegradable plastic. The applications for this novel plastic range from textiles to everyday household items
STYROFOAM DIET STUDY
In a 3 month experiment we observed that mealworms could eat styrofoam. We plan to further study if this diet affects the nutritional qualities of mealworms.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSORS
We developed and built custom sensors to monitor how temperature and humidity affect the growth and nutrition of our mealworms.
