About the team

Research and Development is responsible for creating and improving products and technologies to enable the profitable conversion of organic wastes into valuable byproducts. We take ideas from the whiteboard to the factory floor. As a team we are involved in ideation and design, product testing, trialing and transfer of technology into Operations.

In the R&D Improve team, we focus on developing our existing product lines and improving volume, quality and cost with process and product changes. 

The Opportunity

Sanergy has just finished construction of a large scale waste treatment facility capable of converting organic wastes into insect protein, organic fertilizer and briquettes. Insects, and in particular the insect we grow (the black soldier fly) are seen as a key technology in producing circular economy animal feeds. It is also a new sustainable technology with rapid sector growth - which means there is lots to learn. We are looking to further research and develop the technology to our contexts to improve process performance, reliability and quality, where small improvements can have big impact.
