Bioremediation & waste valorization

Biological air treatment systems utilizing microbial consortia to eliminate VOCs, odors, and industrial airborne pollutants.

Biological death care that replaces flame cremation and vault burial — natural organic reduction (NOR) vessel-composts human remains into soil (Recompose, Earth Funeral, Return Home, Herland Forest), while mycelium and biopolymer containers (Loop Biotech's Living Cocoon, Capsula Mundi's egg pod) close the nutrient loop.

Biological treatment of toxic industrial wastewater — heavy metals, azo dyes, phenols and hydrocarbons from oil-and-gas, mining, textiles and microelectronics — using sulfate-reducing metal bio-precipitation, anaerobic membrane bioreactors and engineered degradation enzymes to recover metals and reuse water.

The coordination layer of the circular economy — geographic symbiosis networks, by-product matching platforms, material/digital product passports and circular supply-chain traceability that route one industry's residue to another's input.

Microbes and enzymes that degrade or destroy pollutants — waste plastic, PFAS, industrial effluents and municipal wastewater — a remediation value chain from contaminated streams to clean water, recoverable monomers and inert residue.

Microbes, enzymes and micro-fauna degrading microplastic already dispersed in soil and terrestrial matrices — a remediation value chain from plastisphere colonization to mineralization, distinct from industrial enzymatic plastic recycling.

Biological treatment of municipal sewage — activated sludge, membrane bioreactors, nitrogen/phosphorus nutrient removal, anaerobic digestion of sludge to biogas, and water reuse — a mature, globally deployed remediation value chain distinct from industrial effluent treatment.

Advanced bioremediation targeting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using engineered proteins, specialized microbial consortia, and bio-based adsorbents to break down forever chemicals.

Indoor composting devices that break down kitchen scraps through an actual biological mechanism — continuous live-microbe digestion (Reencle) or bokashi effective-microorganism fermentation (SCD Probiotics, Skaza) — sold as a distinct category from mechanical dehydrator-grinders (FoodCycler and similar), which reduce food-waste volume through heat and grinding rather than biological decomposition, even when marketed with similar 'composting' language.

Functional proteins, fibres and lipids recovered from food-industry side streams — okara, spent grain, brewer's yeast, coffee grounds — and returned to the human food chain as high-value B2B ingredients.

Conversion of agri-food and industrial biowaste into higher-value non-food products (biochemicals, biomaterials, bioactive extracts, biochar) via enzymatic hydrolysis, supercritical CO2 extraction and mycelial/insect bioconversion, under circular-bioeconomy regulation.
