BSF Sengkol

BSF Sengkol is a black soldier fly (BSF) organic waste processing center (BSF), the first project of its kind in Lombok, strategically located near the Mandalika development, a new tourism master plan of ITDC National Indonesian Tourism Company. Considering that there is hardly any public waste collection system in Indonesia, the challenge wasn’t small.

The facility was designed pro-bono by our office as part of our social contribution to the island of Lombok and to the circular economy model in which we believe. The organic waste becomes natural fertiliser and both this and the larvae (as organic protein feed) can be sold in the local market.

The economic, social and environmental impact of this project is becoming more and more evident as we hear from many reports from the local community.

With this pro bono project, Bambook Studio aims to spread the concept of the circular economy by developing a clear circular business model that demonstrates that it’s possible to have an economy that is compatible with our ability to regenerate our resources and absorb our waste. Together with our friends at Aurbamboo, we haven’t only built a sustainable building out of bamboo, but also a true example of circular architecture, built by local people and for local people.

The BSF Sengkol facility is part of a larger Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Feedwerkz and the local government of Nusa Tenggara (Lombok and Sumbawa Island), which aims to build more such facilities throughout NTB province to achieve the recycling of at least 10 tons of organic waste per day.
