Embracing the gifts of nature, biotech company Life Origin focuses on producing environmentally friendly and sustainable protein by using food waste and disposable media. Life Origin produces high-quality sustainable insect protein and oil from Black Soldier Fly larvae utilising trace-able organic waste as feed for the larvae. Founder, Sio Chun Jia and Operation Production, Julius Au, return for a follow-up from their 2019 interview with a new identity - the winner of ASB 101K Competition Start-Up Track.
