Biotechnology transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich growth mediums for microbes, creating sustainable protein and omega-3 sources for aquaculture and livestock feed within a circular economy.
9%
of global ghg emissions are caused by food waste
With landfill food waste emitting 3600 kg of CO2/ton and traditional waste management methods - like composting and incineration - increasing pollution, it is urgent to seek sustainable alternatives that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and utilize the valuable nutrients in food waste.
These alternatives hold potential for constructive applications, including sustainable alternative proteins and omega-3 production.
Greentech Innovators' solution implements innovative technology and processes for converting organic waste into single-cell proteins and omega-3 fatty acids.
With waste bioconversion through in-house fermentation, this approach facilitates the creation of feed suitable for aquaculture - such as salmon and shrimp feed - livestock feed, fertilizers, and dietary supplements.
98%
CO₂ emissions reduction when converting food waste to omega-3-rich microalgae
Unlike conventional waste management techniques, which often result in the emission of greenhouse gases like methane or CO2, this solution directly addresses the critical issue of food waste in landfills.
It transforms organic waste into valuable resources, including single-cell proteins and omega-3 fatty acids used as feed for aquaculture and livestock, as well as fertilizers and dietary supplements.
This sustainable waste management process utilizes no raw materials instead, it upcycles food waste. The microbes produced by Greentech Innovators' biotechnology process can be used as a source of protein or omega-3 in fish and livestock feed, effectively replacing animal feed ingredients that are currently transported over long distances and contribute to deforestation.
This not only leads to significant cost savings but also reduces CO2 emissions.
