METRO is testing an alternative to a biogas plant for food waste.

METRO is testing an alternative to a biogas plant for food waste. The Aachen-based company Omnivore Recycling relies on material recovery rather than energy recovery using insect larvae. 13-Oct-2026 * Reducing food loss is a central component of METRO Germany's sustainability strategy. In addition to process optimizations, the company is focusing on innovative approaches to recycling unavoidable food waste that is no longer suitable for human consumption and therefore cannot be donated to food banks or other charitable organizations. * In a pilot project lasting several months with Omnivore Recycling, METRO Germany is testing a recycling process using black soldier fly larvae. The larvae convert organic food scraps into usable raw materials. * * The process returns nutrients from food scraps to the food and agricultural cycle, producing, among other things, raw materials for animal feed and organic fertilizer. Reducing food loss has been one of METRO Germany's key sustainability goals for years; to this end, the company relies, for example, on demand-based inventory management and optimized processes. For unavoidable food waste that is no longer suitable for human consumption and therefore cannot be donated to food banks or other charitable organizations, METRO is seeking innovative recycling solutions. A trial lasting several months has now begun in collaboration with the technology-focused Aachen-based company Omnivore Recycling: In this process, organic food waste is collected directly from the METRO wholesale market and fed into an innovative recycling process involving the larvae of the black soldier fly (BSF) - a technology used for the material recovery of organic waste. The goal of the partnership is to recover valuable nutrients from organic waste and return them to the food and agricultural cycle. Animal feed and fertilizer for the nutrient cycle. The organic waste generated at the wholesale market - including fruits, vegetables, and processed products such as yogurt or pasta - is first unpacked and sorted. Fish and meat waste are excluded from the process. The residues are then processed into an optimized feed substrate. This substrate serves as a food source for insect larvae, which are raised in special containers. The larvae convert the nutrients from the food waste into high-quality biomass, which can be used as an alternative feed ingredient for poultry, swine, or fish farming. At the same time, the larvae's excrement is turned into organic fertilizer for agriculture. Higher-value recovery according to the waste hierarchy. In accordance with the waste hierarchy, this innovative recycling process enables a higher level of material recovery from food waste compared to conventional energy recovery: Instead of using food waste, for example, in biogas plants to generate energy, the Omnivore Recycling process converts the nutrients it contains into alternative feedstock and organic fertilizer. This preserves valuable resources within the food and agricultural cycle. As a result, METRO can channel unavoidable food waste into higher-value recovery, conserve natural resources, and further advance the implementation of its sustainability and circular economy strategy. Partner with international expertise. Through its partnership with Omnivore Recycling, METRO Germany is collaborating with a company that specializes in the recycling of organic waste using insects. Omnivore Recycling supports projects worldwide in the field of black soldier fly technology and has extensive experience in the development and operation of related facilities for the circular economy.

Case study: A Cybersecurity Awareness eLearning Experience for the retail sector.

Case study: A Cybersecurity Awareness eLearning Experience for the retail sector. A collaborative initiative by METRO and Code.Hub. Executive Summary In an era of escalating digital threats, METRO partnered with Code.Hub to design and develop a customized Cybersecurity Awareness eLearning program for its workforce. This initiative was built around a microlearning framework, utilizing short-form, scenario-based learning experiences, tailored to the day-to-day realities of the retail sector. By focusing on practical relevance and learner engagement, the program helped transform cybersecurity training into a more engaging and operationally aligned learning experience across the organization. The Project Objective The objective was to establish practical and secure, everyday digital habits for a diverse and distributed workforce. METRO required a solution that was engaging, easy to consume and integrated into the professional routine of its people. The program needed to deliver cybersecurity awareness in a way that felt relevant and accessible to employees with varying levels of technical familiarity. The Code.Hub Solution: Customized eLearning Experience Design Code.Hub designed a customized eLearning experience centered on the principles of Microlearning and scenario-based learning methodologies. The program was structured to deliver specialized knowledge in digestible formats: * 20 Targeted Microlearning Modules: Each lesson focused on a specific cybersecurity topic, ensuring the content is clear and easy to retain. * 5 Practical Scenarios: These interactive modules placed the learners in realistic, retail-specific situations, requiring them to make informed cybersecurity decisions in real-time, reinforcing the application of secure digital behaviors in everyday workplace situations. * Accessible Technical Language: By stripping away advanced technical jargon, the content remained clear, relevant and accessible for all staff members, regardless of their technical familiarity. Project Outcomes The program successfully delivered cybersecurity awareness training to 1970 employees through a scalable and accessible digital learning experience tailored to the retail environment. Beyond the initial rollout, the modules continue to be available through the organization's LMS digital library, extending the reach and long-term value. By combining short-form learning with realistic workplace scenarios, the initiative enabled employees to complete training more flexibly within the flow of their daily responsibilities, while reinforcing practical and security-conscious digital behaviors across the organization.
