In this work, by-products from insect farming valorisation are proposed as filler in biocomposite production, with relevant biodegradation compost and valuable thermal mechanical properties. Thus, we report on the preparation, properties, biodegradability of composites based Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB-HV) (70/30% by weight a polymeric matrix, exoskeleton (I) up to 15% 85% matrix. The biomass was by-product obtained grinding insect's post-protein extraction dry exoskeleton. were produced melt extrusion characterised terms processability, stability, morphology, properties select formulations optimised for injection moulding processing.

This paper presents sustainable option valorising residue that remained after protein animal feed production reducing cost PBSA/PHB-HV-based without compromising application items agriculture, all while promoting compost.
