About Us

This business grew from our success in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow STEM Competition, where we won a national grand prize in 2022. That project grew from a fascination with insects, their relatives, and circular systems of waste disposal--along with the staggering loss of value when food and plastic waste are carelessly tossed away.

BugAbonos is led by the four-person team of Yurai Gutierrez Morales, her sister Diana, Mayda Jiguan, and Ngan Le. Our work combats the world's three greatest environmental challenges--greenhouse gas emissions, loss of biodiversity, and the accumulation of plastic waste--while we generate revenue from the production of high-quality soil additives, soaps, and honey.
