CO-FOUNDER, JAIKLA

Industry : Lifestyle

Ittikorn “Dhong” Thepmani and Patcharaphol “Petch” Achariyasilp, co-founder of Jaikla, have a vision for pet food and environmental sustainability. JAIKLA, a brand specialising in dog treats made from insect protein, created from a passion for reducing food waste and environmental impact that was born from the love for dogs. They saw the opportunity in tackling food waste focusing on creating a product that addresses both waste and sustainability. With a passion for solving environmental issues, they and their team researched ingredients to make a sustainable product that aligns with Circular Economy principles. They focused on black soldier fly larvae, an efficient insect protein source that grows in Thailand’s hot and humid climate. Their results showed how these larvae help break down food waste quickly and provide high-quality protein for dog treats.

Their dedication to dogs is now beyond pet care; they and their team are committed to integrating environmental responsibility into their work. For them, it’s not a choice between pets or sustainability, the goal is to unite the two, creating a more thoughtful and responsible future for both animals and the environment.
