Waste is seen as a real problem, with billions of tonnes such as household food and garden waste thrown away every day throughout the world. There is real value in waste, and we believe in putting your waste to work.

We have built a technology that can process any type of organic waste – be it, wet, dry, woody – into a brand-new form of biofuel we call “biocoal”.

Our technology is:

- Internationally patent-protected

- Fully-continuous

- Mobile

- Installed to process waste at the source

Market entry

We estimate the global water sector represents a £15bn opportunity. Our first customer is a Swiss Wastewater Treatment Plant under pressure to increase processing capacity, whilst reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Being paid to process sludge 24/7 can provide Antaco with a continuous revenue stream.

Key milestones include:

- Awarded £857,000 grant (Dept. of Energy & Climate Change)

- Voted top UK & EU Cleantech start-up by Climate-KIC & EIT (European Institute of Technology & Innovation)

- Secured a contract that could be worth up to £6m if certain milestones are met

To date, we've raised over £5.8m from loans, grants and 40+ shareholders. We are now seeking £400,000 in further investment to expand operational capacity on-site, build our team, and capitalise on growing market opportunities.

We would love to have you join us on our journey to make your waste work harder!
