Harnessing the Power of Insects for a Cleaner Palm Future
Learn how we are using novel technology to transform the palm industry
Palm plantations are vast
Globally, palm agriculture covers twice the land area of the United Kingdom.
Produce enormous quantities of waste
Every year, the industry produces over 250 million tonnes of waste.
Unsustainable practices are pervasive
Most solid material is either burned or left to rot.
Turning palm waste into profit
It began with a simple challenge: can we make palm production more sustainable? We saw the potential in palm waste where others saw a problem. Now, we're transforming an industry, one tree at a time.
Our insects convert damaging palm waste into useful, important products.
Mission
At Rhynco, we believe that agricultural waste from palm oil plantations represents a substantial untapped resource. We use insects to convert palm waste into high-value products – insect oil, protein and fertiliser. This boosts palm sustainability and yields, whilst reducing the need for harmful agricultural waste burning.
