Resumen
El plástico es ampliamente utilizado y responsable de impactos ambientales negativos. Tal es el caso del poliestireno expandido (EPS), que presenta desafíos de revalorización por su baja densidad. Aunque ciertas larvas de insecto, como tenebrio molitor, han demostrado la capacidad de mineralizar plásticos, la insecticultura de estos aún se enfoca en obtener proteína sostenible y biofertilizante. En este estudio, se investiga la influencia de una dieta de EPS en el desarrollo larval de T. molitor durante 6 meses, y se examina cómo la dieta afecta el volumen de biofertilizante recolectado en este lapso. Se desarrollaron ensayos con tres dietas, realizando mediciones y recolección de material de manera periódica. Los resultados indican que las larvas alimentadas con un sustrato combinado, así como aquellas con una dieta orgánica, demuestran tasas de supervivencia de hasta 66%. La longitud final es inferior en la dieta inorgánica (112mm), y en las otras dietas superan los 162 mm. Las larvas de una dieta inorgánica no progresaron a pupa, demostraron un Factor de Conversión de Alimento desalentador (3,87) y produjeron menor cantidad de frass/biofertilizante (1,28g), en comparación con la dieta combinada que registró 5,11g. Los datos sugieren que la entomoremediación plástica funciona óptimamente si se cría larvas en un sustrato combinado de EPS y elementos orgánicos. Dicha condición no solo produce resultados positivos, sino que se alinea con los principios de economía circular. En consecuencia, se demuestra que una dieta combinada es ideal para abordarla como opción en el tratamiento de residuos de EPS.
