By 31 December 2023, bio-waste must either be separated and recycled at sourceor collected separately and not mixed with other types of waste. - EU Directive (EU) 2018/851 on waste.

Encourage the use of organic fertilisers and soil improvers,thereby decreasing the EU's dependency on imports of mineralfertilisers. - EU Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 on fertilizers.

EFFECO complex process can be integrated with existing treatment methods for reasonable cost.

It combines the benefits of both and overcomes their limits by patented innovation.

The EFFECO substrate has 10Y+ durability and is easy to store, transport and apply to soil.

The EFFECO substrate contains recycled nutrients and increases organic matter in soil.

The EFFECO process is energy-positive with biofuels as by-products (bio CNG, bio-methane).

Soil in the EU can store up to 3,5 millions tons of CO2 a year and become more fertile at the same time.

Any plant with composting and/ or AD process can become an EFFECO facility.

New biowaste processing plants can benefit from validated setup of the EFFECO pilot plant in Horný Jatov, Slovakia.

The underlying idea behind the research and development of the EFFECO biowaste treatment process and biochar substrate is the eco-effective care for soil.

The care that utilizes the never-ending cycle of restoration of natural resources to enhance soilfertility and quality and at the same time, deals with the issue of bio-waste management. In a circular economy, bio-waste is directed to treatment options that use the waste as a source of valuable resources such as nutrients, organic substances and energy.

The EFFECO approach meets the most stringent ecological criteria while being economically effective.

• Ecology
• Economy
• Effectiveness
• Sustainability

Natural, chemical free fertilizer

Made on the basis of biochar and a natural nutrient

Retention of water in soil

Prevention of nutrition depletion and elimination of soil erosion

Soil revitalization

Increasing pH of acidic soils and heavy metal soil remediation

Reduction of costs

effeco reduces the need for fertilization and irrigation

Higher fertility and production capacity of soil

effeco enhances fertility and production capacity of soils

Soil development

effeco cultivates the soil and protects the manufacturing resource

Solution to bio-waste

The production of effeco deals with the issue of bio-waste and has positive local impacts

By-products

The production of effeco also produces further usable energy

Effective application process

Pelletizing the effeco bio-substrate allows for effective transportation and application process

Sustainability

Never-ending production of bio-waste ensures the unlimited recycling of effeco

Improvement of soil characteristics

effeco reclaims the soil of lower quality and eliminates soil erosion

Restoration of natural processes

effeco improves chemical, physical and biological soil characteristics

Carbon applied to soil in an appropriate amount can substantially enhance the fertility of soil that we are reclaiming this way.

Carbon levels in fertile soils of standard quality average at 1.5%.

By applying 1-2 kg of the effeco biochar substrate to 1 m² of soil, it is possible to double the carbon content in soil depending on the soil condition.

Scientific studies on the positive impact of applying biochar to soil

• Soil characteristics and the overall soil quality improve (Laird, 2008), which is of enormous importance for next generations
• Agegnehu et al. (2016) reported that biochar combined with fertilizer improved the yield of maize grains by 30% compared to the application of fertilizer without biochar
• Biochar also positively affects the yield-forming parameters of arable crops. According to Solaiman et al. (2012), the application of biochar at the rate of 10 t ha-1 increased wheat seed germination from 93% to 98%
• The results of Arthur et al. (2015) point to positive effects of applied biochar with liquid manure on the absorption of water vapours from the atmosphere and their retention in sandy loam soil
• Studies of Adekayode & Olojugba (2010) and Agegnehu et al. (2015) indicated that the application of biochar combined with compost led to a statistically significant increase in chlorophyll content in maize leaves
• Greater effects on yield-forming parameters and 30% higher yields resulting from biochar application are observed on sandy soils in tropical areas
