How the ARC Process™ Works

Developed by ARC Ento Tech Ltd and validated by BHP and Macquarie University, the ARC Process™ is the only system in the world that converts all streams of municipal solid waste into commercial products without the need of landfills or incineration.

Step 1 of 4

Intake and Sort

Municipal solid waste arrives and passes through mechanical separation. Recyclables and heavy metals are extracted. The remaining stream is ready for processing.

Black Soldier Fly: Working With Nature

Nature's most efficient organic converter, put to work at industrial scale

Black Soldier Fly larvae are among the most efficient organisms on Earth for converting organic matter into protein. A single colony can consume its own bodyweight in waste every 24 hours, converting organics into high-value biomass across a 14-day cycle.

ARC-V deploys BSF biotechnology as the core of its bio-cleaning process to generating three commercial byproducts: Insect Protein, Frass Fertilizer, and Bio-Oil. No heat. No chemicals. Just biology.

SynCoal: Our Answer to Plastic Waste

Previously unusable non-organic waste, repurposed as industrial fuel.

Through the ARC process, non-organic waste is converted into SynCoal granules with the only emission being water vapour. An innovative and cleaner alternative to traditional coking coal.
