Biological breakdown process
Biological activity is the core of our process. Microorganisms are carefully selected based on the characteristics of the feedstock to ensure they can degrade organic matter as efficiently as possible. The selection is guided by extensive enzyme activity testing, which ensures that the chosen strains possess the necessary degradative enzymes for different material types.
During the degradation process, the microorganisms release heat as a result of their metabolic activity. The generated heat energy is sufficient to raise the process temperature to a level that hygienises the material in accordance with the temperature requirements of the fertilizer product regulation.
In the Biopallo process, industrial and agricultural side streams are converted into organic fertilizers, soil improvers, and raw materials for growing media
Soil improving matter
The organic biomass produced in the Biopallo process acts as an effective soil improver, improve soil structure, microbial activity, and carbon sequestration in the soil. It can be applied to the field in bulk with equipment suitable for the application of lime or dry manure.
An excellent breeding ground for mycelium
Attracts micro-organisms
Acts as an excellent soil amendment
Accelerates photosynthesis and binds carbon to the soil
Improves soil’s structure
Fibrous structure binds water and balances soil moisture
Granulated recycled fertilizer
Soil healing matter can be enriched with different organic or unorganic additives for increasing its nutrient contents (especially nitrogen).
The matter can be granulated to organic fertilizer, that can be spread on surface or by insemination.
Contains organic matters with nutrients
Nutrients are released according the needs of the plants
Nutrients are not washed out into waterbodys
Can even replace mineral fertilizers
Circular fertilizers will become part of the agriculture
Screened soil amendment for further processing
Pre-granulated soil conditioner
Raw materials for growing media
Biopallo’s process enables the use of various low-nutrient biomasses as raw materials for soil improvers and growing media. The produced material serves as a sustainable alternative to peat and other organic components in substrate mixtures.
Suitable raw materials include:
agricultural side streams such as hay, straw, greenhouse plant residues, and used growing peat
green waste and household biomasses such as raked leaves and grass clippings
forest industry side streams rich in organic matter but low in nutrients
Utilizing these materials reduces the need for peat and promotes circular economy practices in growing media production.
For example, growing media from hay
