The partnership will see Blue Aqua upcycle organic waste from dnata’s catering and related operations
dnata recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Blue Aqua Food Tech (Blue Aqua) to boost food security in Singapore.
The partnership will see Blue Aqua upcycle organic waste from dnata’s catering and ground handling operations into alternative insect protein for aqua-feeds.
Blue Aqua’s innovative bioconversion solution processes underutilized nutrients from the leftovers that can be transformed into quality insect proteins for aqua-cultural use.
The MoU is the starting point to a deeper partnership between Blue Aqua and dnata, which will look into the development and implementation of a ‘Zero Waste’ master plan. The air services provider will also add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to purchase locally farmed seafood for its catering operations.
“This initiative will help us minimise our environmental footprint whilst delivering the highest value for our customers and the communities around us,” remarked Dirk Goovaerts, dnata’s Regional CEO, Asia Pacific.
“We are excited to grow our efforts in food technology to develop a circular economy in aquaculture globally through our network, starting with Singapore,” commented Dr Farshad Shishehchian, CEO & Founder, Blue Aqua International Group.
