PROTEEN
What if there was a solution to repurpose city waste, employ local youth, combat climate change’s most harmful effects, and distribute products that fulfill a market demand? That's where Proteen comes in. Proteen uses the black soldier fly insect to process waste into sustainable livestock feed and soil fertilizer. By providing a circular solution, we make farming more profitable throughout Africa for all. We are currently based in Kampala where we are proud to work closely with the local municipality (KCCA). We are always open for partnerships and are keen to accelerate the circular economy transition in East Africa!
