Summary:
The Slovak company is dealing with a new bioleaching method, giving various industrial waste a second life, replacing dangerous mining and processing methods and removing metals from industrial minerals in an ecological and economic way while producing biofertilizer. It is looking for license or joint venture agreement.
Description:
A Slovak startup established in 2019 and supported by EIT (The European Institute of Innovation and Technology) is now operating all over the EU. Company is the first and leading provider of a new ecological bioleaching method for the ecological release of elements and the degradation of organic contaminants.
With its innovative biological technology, it solves environmental hazards and cleans contaminated sites that are polluted with heavy metals and / or organic substances, giving various industrial waste a second life, replacing dangerous mining and processing methods and removing metals from industrial minerals in an ecological and economic way while producing biofertilizer.
Company is looking for cooperation with partners under joint venture agreement or license agreement as described below:
- waste/tailings/landfill owners and producers (mines, foundries, sewage treatment plants etc.) to solve and reuse their waste
- environmental hazards owners, local authorities with environmental problem to solve and clean contamination
- incineration plants to extract metals from ash and use residue in concrete
- metals and metalloids purchaser to supply them with new local resources
- concrete producers to provide them with new local resources of minerals/ashes
- mineral deposit owners to improve the quality of their minerals
- farmers and agricultural companies interested to test biofertilizer to support plants growth by 100 % and replace pesticides
