It probably doesn't need to be emphasized that Asians impress us every now and then with innovative solutions. Regardless, they stunned the world with their latest idea. Cockroaches were called to help.
China every year it produces almost 150 million tons municipal waste. Of this, there are quite a few 9 million tons accumulates in Beijing. Such high numbers are certainly a cause for alarm, which the Chinese want to silence with a special type of insect that feeds on garbage.
Such a method of waste disposal is already used in to Jinan, the capital of the province Shandong. In the local waste collection point, we find approx a billion cockroaches. Company Shandong Qiaobin Agricultural Technology, who is behind the project, is so impressed with the results that he wants to open three new business units in the next year.
The Chinese plan to use a unique method to decommission the city of 7 million people a third of discarded food products. The system, which is otherwise worthy of admiration, causes scientists to have concerns. But what would happen if, due to human error or a natural disaster, billions of cockroaches escaped?
