Sustainability

Tapping alternative sources of raw materials

With the pre-set goal of enabling the transition to a circular economy through our technologies, Biofabrik’s core idea focuses on making the world more sustainable.

Every year, 4 billion tons of oil are pumped. In addition to crude oil, many other raw materials such as sodium, phosphorus or potassium will also become scarce in the medium term. These are the main reasons why Biofabrik’s technologies open up alternatives to traditional oil production.

Closing raw material
cycles

Only 9% of the plastic ever produced, has been recycled. Our technologies create new raw material cycles and thus reduce environmental pollution.

Both internally and externally, we act according to the standard of maximized sustainability in order to protect the environment. Our contribution to this mission includes managing resources responsibly, re-using residual and waste materials and implementing circular economy solutions.

Decentralized technologies:
Less CO2

25% of global C02 emissions come from the transport sector. Our technologies are born as decentralized, in order to improve energy efficiency in logistics and production.

With the WASTX Plastic plant, plastic waste no longer has to be dumped in landfills or incinerated, but can be converted into recyclable pyrolysis oil.

Profitable environmental protection

High levels of investment continue to flow into fossil fuel industries. Our vision is to develop sustainable and profitable business models to reverse this trend.

Depending on the investment volume, we offer various options: shares in recycling parks, stand-alone investments or crowdfunding investments.

Our goals

We are guided by the goals for sustainable development of the UN

Protection from plastic pollution

With the help of our technology, we protect both marine and terrestrial ecosystems from plastic pollution.

Circular economy

Optimized recycling technologies help to close material cycles and thus contribute to achieving the circular economy.

Climate protection

The improvement of disposal processes and climate compensation with the help of our partners ensure the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Life under water

With decentralized oil recycling facilities, we protect marine ecosystems from oil contamination.

Life on land

We use biological fertilizers to help reverse soil degradation and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems.

Biodiversity

By using genetically unmodified raw materials, we promote a greater biodiversity.

Zero hunger

With research that focuses on plant-based sources of protein, we are working on finding a solution to the problem of malnutrition.

Healthy nutrition

In order to fight against common diseases, we have focused on healthy, high quality raw materials and offer a new way of nutrition with our nutritional supplements.

Sustainable production

With our technologies, we increase the recycling rate and create alternatives to fossil resources.
