Idea

A seamless circular on-site recovery process capturing edible proteins (stock) & fat, converting the residual bone & other organic material with useful industrial by-products into our organo-mineral fertiliser.

Our densely packed, homogenous granules contain a multitude of goodness for soils, plants, animals and humans. We produce three sizes, 1-2mm, 2-4mm and 4-5mm for specific amenity, horticulture and arable use.

Our typical fertiliser composition, using a detailed chemical mass balance developed over many years, externally validated by analytical labs, combined with XRF spectroscopy, ensures a consistent fertiliser.

A schematic of our production process.

A graphical summary of our comprehensive organic waste recovery and conversion process of the various categories of animal by-products.

Animal waste and valuable organic by-products are not optimally converted or disposed of on a global basis. Current processes are wasteful, costly and carry the risk of contamination throughout the animal and human food chains.

Our fast & efficient process turns organic waste into value-added end products with impressive nutritional, economic and environmental benefits - with zero waste.

We will recover and recycle abattoir-generated organic waste and useful industrial by-products at our new facility in Devon. The process produces Thallo®, a multi-nutrient, sustainable, consistent, valuable and versatile fertiliser.

This funding is for the first part of a larger strategic phase, where we simultaneously develop high-value edible fats and proteins from fresh ingredients in partnership with an international meat producer. The expansion includes 13+ pre-contracted sites in the UK & EU, with global licensing opportunities.

With our patents, granted or pending in >60 countries we plan to change how agriculture nourishes plants, improving soil, animal and human health as well. Our clean, recovered phosphate is essential for growth and yields. Our R&D is substantive and we’ve now qualified our final products and are ready to produce to scale.

The funds will be used to build the fertiliser plant, expand markets, develop the team and further R&D to qualify crop-related precision applications.
