Composting with microbial consortia minimising nutrient loses

Type and volume of input materials/products

Use of specific microbial consortia (Streptomyces, Pseudomonas) and different additives (biochar, PGPR strains, the derived bio-organic fertilizers, microbial bioproducts) to accelerate composting and increase nutrient content/ bioavailability

Type & volume of output materials/products

With the use of newly elaborated microbial fertilizers, a circular agricultural production system will be established, in which organic waste biomass is processed to recover plant nutrients and return to the soil to support a sustainable production with minimal polluting emissions, towards a target of zero pollution.
