Arla Foods Ingredients partners with ENORM to upcycle DLP

15 December 2023

Arla Foods Ingredients has teamed up with ENORM, Northern Europe’s largest insect farm, in a partnership that aims to significantly reduce food waste.

production. Most DLP is currently used as material for biogas production, which is a less preferable option than re-use for animal feed according to the food waste hierarchy set out in the EU’s Waste Framework Directive.

Having developed the capacity to turn DLP into nutritious feed for the larvae, Arla Foods Ingredients has been supplying ENORM with DLP for trial production for several years. However, ENORM is now set to open a major new facility in Flemming, Denmark, and is gearing up for full-scale production. 

As a result, the amount of DLP that Arla Foods Ingredients supplies to ENORM will increase substantially – to 15 truckloads a week from early 2024. When the new facility is up and running, it will be able to produce 100 tonnes of larvae daily – enough for more than 10,000 tonnes of insect meal. 

Because its destination will be feed rather than biogas, the partnership will allow DLP to move up in the waste hierarchy. Arla Foods Ingredients estimates that the partnership will enable its Danmark Protein facility to achieve a significant (16%) reduction in food waste.
