But what about the carbon footprint of these proteins? At small volumes, manageable. At global feed scale, it costs the planet its future. While better sourcing, certifications and offsets are important, they don’t fundamentally change the equation. Enter Loopworm. Our silkworm protein ingredients do not just leave a lower carbon footprint, they actively remove more carbon than they emit.   1 𝐤𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 2.56 𝐤𝐠 𝐂𝐎₂ 𝐞𝐪.

Big news from portco Loopworm on #EarthDay. Independent lifecycle assessment by PwC India found that producing one kg of Loopworm's silkworm-based ingredients actually avoids 2.56 kg of CO₂ equivalent on a cradle-to-gate basis. The global feed industry has a pressing environmental challenge - - Soy, 75% of which is consumed by livestock, is a major contributor of deforestation - Over a third of marine fish stocks are overexploited - Dry pet food alone emits 106M tonnes of CO₂ annually For feed manufacturers, this means an opportunity for no trade-off on nutrition, no compromise on performance and verifiably cleaner by design.

❌ Carbon reduced. ❌ Carbon neutral. ✅ 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞! 1 𝐤𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 2.56 𝐤𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐎₂ 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭. The global feed industry runs on a broken system: - Soy, 75% of which is consumed by livestock, is a major contributor of deforestation - Over a third of marine fish stocks are overexploited - Dry pet food alone emits 106M tonnes of CO₂ annually For years, sustainability in the feed industry meant doing less damage. At Loopworm, we've always believed the bar could be higher. Loopworm is proud to announce on Earth Day, we’re not extracting from earth, we’re giving back. Based on an independent assessment by PwC India, our silkworm protein ingredients outperform conventional protein sources across 18 environmental impact categories and are actively removing more carbon than they produce. For feed manufacturers, this changes the equation entirely: No trade-off on nutrition, no compromise on performance and cleaner by design. To everyone who helped us get here, a heartfelt thank you!

We’re talking about the collagen and keratin in your cosmetics, the proteins in your pregnancy tests and rapid diagnostic kits, the insulin that controls your diabetes, the industrial enzymes in your detergent, the food that we feed pets and livestock, and that’s just the list off the top of our head. The uncomfortable truth: most proteins that go into your plate, your medicines and other everyday applications are: 💰 Capital intensive 🏭 Resource intensive 🌳 Carbon intensive & ⚙️ Infrastructure-heavy We’re running short on proteins that build the very fabric of life. More importantly, we’re running out of ways to produce these proteins without incurring a massive planetary toll. What do we do when we need more proteins for a growing world but can’t afford to produce them? We think outside the box and lean into nature. We tap into nature’s most efficient and most abundant biomass, i.e., insects. At Loopworm, we’re future-proofing protein production by leveraging nature’s protein biofactories, silkworms. With our silkworm platform, we aim to make the global protein production affordable, accessible, scalable and environmentally friendly.

It's a fish eat fish world.   Aquaculture is the largest consumer of fishmeal and fish oil, derived from wild marine fish. Between 2022–24, it used 78% of fishmeal and 54% of fish oil produced globally (OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2025–2034). Yet both depend on wild fisheries where supply fluctuates with climate change and ocean shocks. The conventional solution? Oilseeds.   Oilseed meals in aquaculture feed are projected to grow 37% by 2034. But that only shifts the risk from the oceans to the forests adding to land-use change, deforestation pressure, and higher emissions. At Loopworm, we are redesigning and future-proofing this broken feed system. Our silkworm ingredients deliver premium quality proteins, balanced essential amino acids, and functional omega fatty acids that can seamlessly replace fishmeal and oil at a much lower planetary cost. Wondering how sustainable it truly is? Find out in the coming weeks as we share our real impact through our Life Cycle Assessment. #FeedingtheFuture #Aquaculture #SustainableSeaFood #OceanConservation #AlternativeProteins

Almost 87 million households around the world own a pet. More than 6 billion people consume animal-derived food. But what do these animals feed on? Behind pet food, aquaculture and poultry is a feed system built largely on soy, oilseeds and marine ingredients like fishmeal. Growing plant-based proteins and lipids comes at the cost of deforestation and land-use change. Harvesting marine proteins puts pressure on fragile ocean ecosystems. Both contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. We cannot keep waiting to make animal and pet nutrition sustainable. Insect-based ingredients have long been described as a climate-smart alternative. At Loopworm, we chose to quantify what that actually means. Harnessing silkworms, the world’s oldest domesticated insect, we produce high-performance, low-carbon feed ingredients for aquaculture, poultry and pet nutrition. In the past year, we conducted a detailed assessment of our products across emissions, land intensity, water use and resource efficiency. The report is now in its final stages. And the numbers are worth watching. If you’re tracking alternative proteins and lipids, sustainable aquaculture, feed innovation, climate-smart agriculture, circular bioeconomy, or low-emission animal nutrition, keep watching this space. #FutureOfFeed #SustainableFeed #AnimalNutrition #OneHealth #FeedAdditives #InsectMeal #SustainableSeafood #FunctionalFeed

1 in 2 people in the world live with pets. And yet, the carbon pawprint of our furry friends does not feature in any climate conversation. Behind every scoop of kibble sits a trail of deforestation, water use and methane that we rarely connect to the animals we live alongside. Does it have to be a tug of war between our beloved pets and scarce planetary resources? Not at all. But, we do know that small daily decisions, like feed, can become significant forces at scale. At Loopworm, we’re redesigning what goes into the bowl so pet parents don’t have to compromise on either nutrition or sustainability. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about how we’re fixing the broken feed system and why we see every bag of feed as a climate story waiting to be rewritten. #FutureOfFeed #AlternativeProteins #PetNutrition #FeedInnovation

Did you know 86% of the world consumes animal-derived foods, from milk and meat to eggs and fish, for their nutrition? But what about what the animals feed on? In this article for Feed and Additive Magazine, our co-founder and CEO, Ankit Alok Bagaria explores the idea that what we feed animals on farms has significant consequences ranging from antimicrobial resistance to food security to the climate crisis. Read on to know how silkworms are changing the game for animal nutrition:   https://bit.ly/3LJSPwH

A very happy New Year from all of us at Loopworm! For us, 2025 was a year of deliberate, conviction-led building. We invested our focus in validating platforms, de-risking scale, and ensuring that what we build can translate beyond the lab. We built systems, processes, and capabilities that compound over time. As we head into the next phase of our journey, we are clearer about what we’re building, why it matters, and the responsibility that comes with working at the intersection of protein systems, biology, and climate. A huge thank you to our partners, collaborators, and peers who challenged our thinking and raised the bar along the way!
