ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS LTD

What ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS LTD does

Organic Waste Management Solutions Holdings Ltd (OWMS) is a privately held UK company founded in 2022 and headquartered in London that develops integrated organic waste valorization solutions for the food supply chain. The company's core offering is an IP-protected process that combines Black Soldier Fly (BSF) bio-conversion with thermochemical conversion to recover protein, bio-oils, green hydrogen, and biochar from organic waste streams, with a claimed proven operating capacity of 1,000+ tonnes per day for its BioMass Recovery component. OWMS targets hard-to-manage waste categories — manure, post-consumer food waste, and mixed municipal solid waste — that are typically low-value for competitors, and applies a technology-agnostic architecture that integrates best-available commercial sub-systems in each market.

The company monetizes through a portfolio of services and solution verticals: consultation, substrate modelling, and data-based waste solutions alongside four productized verticals (Protein Solutions, Food Waste Solutions, Mixed/MSW Solutions, and Supply Chain Solutions). Revenue streams span professional services, managed services, and hardware sales of organic protein (for poultry feed and pet food) and sustainable energy products (bio-oils, green hydrogen, biochar). Customer segments include farmers, food processors, food retailers, councils, and food supply chain partners facing Net-Zero and Scope 3 emissions accountability. The company has built a technology-partner ecosystem with Beta Bugs, FlyboxR, Entocycle, Abritech, InnovateUK EDGE, KAUST, and NEOM Hydrogen and Green Fuels to access specialized capabilities without full vertical integration, and is pursuing geographic expansion into the Middle East via its KAUST and NEOM relationships.

Core offering

OWMS combines Black Soldier Fly (BSF) BioConversion with ThermoChemical Conversion in an IP-protected, carbon-negative process that recovers energy from organic waste. The process mirrors Nature's 2-Stage Energy Recovery: BSF larvae bio-convert nutrients in waste into recoverable products (protein, growth supplements), before remaining biomass is thermochemically converted into direct energy carriers (BioOils and Green Hydrogen) and BioChar. The company delivers waste management solutions across the food supply chain, targeting farmers, food processors, food retailers, and local councils.

Product overview

OWMS (Organic Waste Management Solutions) offers a platform of integrated organic waste processing solutions built on an IP-protected combination of BSF BioConversion and ThermoChemical Conversion technologies. The core platform consists of three interconnected technology components: BioMass Recovery (prepares consistent feedstock), BSF BioConversion (converts nutrients to protein via Black Soldier Fly larvae), and ThermoChemical Conversion (produces BioOils, Green Hydrogen, and Bio-Char). These technologies are deployed across solution verticals including Protein Solutions, Food Waste Solutions, Mixed/MSW Solutions, and Supply Chain Solutions, complemented by advisory services (Consultation, Substrate Modelling, Data-based Waste Solutions). The company targets farmers, food processors, food retailers, and councils with solutions that achieve net-zero environmental footprint and carbon-negative processing.
