A circular economy is a strategy aimed at optimizing resources so that sustainability can be achieved. The world needs to shift from linear economy to circular economy. Black soldier fly Hermetia illucens l. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is gaining popularity in recent years for its tremendous capacity for organic waste management and bioconversion of organic waste into nutrient rich compost. Larvae and prepupae of black soldier fly have been used as feed for poultry birds, fishes, other animals and it can be used as nutrient rich food for humans. It is a promising source of protein and can be utilized for chitin, protein and grease extraction and biodiesel production. Due to its potential applicability at various industries and thereby recycling the organic waste and close the loop in the production system, it has gained attention in recent years for achieving some of the sustainable development goals adopted by united nations by transition from linear to circular economy. India has vast potential for BSF-based industries.
