Made for Ornamental Fish
We are SUSFeed, a groundbreaking venture born out of the Diploma in Environmental and Marine Science at Republic Polytechnic in Singapore. Our mission is to pioneer sustainable and nutritious pet feeds for ornamental fish. We achieve this by creatively valorizing food waste transforming discarded items into nutritious resources. SUSFeed is not merely a startup; we are a commitment to harmonizing the ornamental industry with Singapore's environmental sustainability goals, proving that responsible waste management can lead to a healthier planet and industry.
SUSFeed Journey & Educational Content
Beyond making feed, we see ourselves as educators and collaborators. SUSFeed creates learning experiences for students, hobbyists, and partners to understand how food waste can be safely and responsibly upcycled into fish nutrition.
-
Showcasing real examples of food waste valorisation in Singapore
-
Translating science and nutritional data into simple visuals and stories
-
Highlighting how everyday choices can reduce landfill pressure
Valorising food waste into fish feed sits at the heart of every workshop, pilot and product we develop.
