8Circular

8Circular is a young start-up based in Madrid, Spain, focused on finding solutions to a massive global problem: managing bio-waste, refining it into high quality end products and introducing an environmentally friendly circular economy model into our food systems. Using insect breeding, especially the black soldier fly, 8Circular is currently working with different companies and organisations, offering them different concepts and options for the bioconversion of their food waste, in order to achieve not only environmental benefits and compliance with the new Spanish waste management guidelines, but also economic benefits for the company.

Paula Huerta was appointed CSO of 8Circular because of her experience with BSF insect bioconversion plants in Indonesia and with developing sustainable strategic planning to support and collaborate with the company in the implementation of this new technology.
