MCE’s Styrofoam Upcycling and Sustainable Agriculture

MCE Inc.
  • 2025 Honoree in Food & AgTech

MCE provides a container module that processes styrofoam into feed blocks, enabling mealworms to break it down effectively. This module is easily installed and expanded, making it an efficient solution for styrofoam waste. MCE's process reduces carbon emissions by 93% compared to recycling and over 99% compared to incineration, minimizing environmental impact. The UNEP warns that styrofoam's social costs could reach $25 billion by 2025, highlighting the need for such solutions. MCE's feed blocks allow mealworms to consume up to 92% of styrofoam and convert it into organic fertilizer in just one day, supporting sustainable agriculture and global food security.
