1. BACKGROUND
The Recycling in Jordan Activity (the Activity) is a multi-year Activity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Activity is partnering with the Ministry of Environment (MOENV), the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), and private sector recycling companies to increase the commercial sector’s utilization of recycling services in Amman. Through a market-based approach, the USAID Recycling in Jordan Activity seeks to improve and expand private-sector recycling markets, increase demand for and utilization of recycling services within Amman’s commercial sector, and improve business enabling environment for recycling services and material markets. As the recycling sector becomes more competitive, the activity will capitalize on opportunities to boost the commercial sector’s demand for recycling services.
In order to build the service providers’ business capacity to meet recycling market needs, the Activity designed a Firm-Level Technical Assistance Program targeting potential service providers in the local market for the purpose of improving technical knowledge and upgrade capacity at firm-level in the domains of – but not limited to – technology, tools, equipment, efficiency (i.e. business planning, business modeling, process improvement, upgrading, process innovation, etc…).
Within this context, the Activity is investigating different technologies to treat food/organic waste as this type of waste treatment facilities lack advanced technologies like the insect protein revolution such as the black soldier fly (BSF) and black soldier larvae (BSL). Black soldier fly larvae farming is considered as a zero-waste solution due to it is exceptional capabilities in converting waste into quality protein. They are far from being picky eaters and can eat almost all kinds of organic waste and by-products, including manure, compost, food waste, carrion (animal carcass remains), mold, and plant refuse. Moreover, their by-products can then be reused as fertilizer.
AlYaraqat AlSaghira Company is a Jordanian startup company working in the field of breeding BSF and producing BSL, it has a small production facility using very primitive tools and techniques in the production process. This SOW intends to assist the Recycling in Jordan Activity in designing and implementing the procurement process of the required machinery, equipment, and prefabricated caravan relevant to the Company BSF Pilot Project.
