Bardee plans ‘mega’ organic fertiliser facility in Melbourne after carbon certification

Ag-tech start-up Bardee is about to take a bigger bite of Australia’s food waste recycling market after gaining certification by the Australian Clean Energy Regulator to secure carbon credits from its insect-based organic fertiliser and protein products.

The certification has paved the way for leading insect breeding, fertiliser and protein producer to progress plans to establish a ‘mega facility’ in its home base of Melbourne to supercharge its waste handling volumes from 10 tonnes a day at present to 300 tonnes a day.

Bardee now claims it is the first in the world to be certified to generate carbon credits.
