Collection: JAIKLA

Jaikla, which translates to ‘courageous heart,’ offers pet treats made from insect protein. This concept began with an environmental focus and a committed effort to address food waste issues in Thailand. It represents the introduction of sustainability into the pet food industry, a pioneering move under the circular economy model.

Insect protein offers numerous advantages in terms of sustainability. It requires minimal resources, such as soil and water, resulting in significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, insects play a vital role in upcycling food surplus through a closed-loop insect farming system, transforming leftovers into valuable nutrition. JAIKLA collaborates with leading supermarkets in Thailand to collect food waste, which is then given to natural decomposers, such as black soldier fly larvae, effectively addressing the waste problem while promoting a circular economy.

The process starts with collecting surplus food from leading supermarkets in Thailand, including bakery items, vegetables, and fruits that are no longer fit for human consumption. These products are then selected for their quality and cleanliness and transformed into insect-based pet food to ensure high-quality protein. The remaining insect biomass is repurposed into fertiliser, creating a sustainable and resource-efficient cycle, ultimately minimising waste throughout the entire supply chain.
