Abstract

About 80% of the total amount of waste produced is generally organic waste, which is only seen as residual and has no economic value.Currently, the problem of organic waste is a problem that must be addressed immediately, and Black Soldier Fly is one of the solutions.This study aims to determine the influence of waste ratio on waste consumption level, waste reduction index, and larval growth during the breeding process.The waste used in this study is wet organic waste (SOB), which is food waste.On the other hand, dry organic waste (SOK) in the form of dry foliage was chosen because of its large amount and ease of finding; besides that, these two types of waste are often not appropriately managed.This research was conducted using a batch system, where only one substrate was given at the beginning of the study, which was divided into four ratios (SOB: SOK 250:750, SOB: SOK 500:500, SOB: SOK 750:250, and SOB: SOK 1000:0).The results significantly influence the provision of different waste ratios to waste consumption levels and waste reduction indices.The highest waste consumption rate is indicated at the ratio of SOB:SOK 1000:0 reaches 99.36%, and the lowest level indicated in ratio A only reaches 32.66% of SOB: SOK 250:750.The highest waste reduction index is indicated at a ratio of SOB: SOK 100:0 reached 2.84%, and the lowest was shown in the ratio of SOB: SOK 250:750, which only reached 0.94%.
