General information
- Short Summary
- A UK SME active in the development and manufacturing of sustainable, 100% biodegradable, bacterial-based natural products for easy and immediate application to solve pollution issues in the built environment, transportation, industry, and agriculture sectors. The company is looking for distributors to supply these innovative products outside of the UK.
- Full Description
-
A UK science-led organisation specialised in the development and manufacturing of bacterial formulations that digest organic waste and pollution.
Established in 2019, the company holds patented technologies and operates in full compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.
They use an innovative approach based on the fusion of chemistry, biology, and engineering expertise to create products that either prevent pollution at source (for example, natural and biodegradable products to replace harmful chemicals), or prevent the consequences of pollution.
Their current offer includes products for the digestion of uric acid build up and organic sludge in washrooms and septic tanks, as well as in kitchens, for the digestion of hydrocarbon sludge in oil water interceptors and for the removal of struvite formations in anaerobic digestion plants.
To expand their activities outside of the UK, they are looking for business partners involved in the international distribution of their products.
Commercial and/or distribution agreements sought will be companies with a strong presence in the target markets and experience in international distribution. Prioritising partners that share a commitment to sustainability and assess the potential partners' sustainability initiatives and practices to ensure alignment with the company's values and goals.

Set Assessment Period: Clearly define the assessment period (2-5 years) during which both parties will evaluate the partnership's success and potential for expansion. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company’s systemic, integrated solutions can on average decrease sludge levels by more than 75%, while delivering a number of benefits to customers, from reduced costs and reduced carbon emissions, to increased efficiency and productivity.
The company’s solutions are cheaper, and less energy-consuming compared to the existing alternatives. This patented technology uses a novel blend of bacterial formulations for in situ application that are based on non-toxic, bio-chemical, and bio-engineering innovations deliver not only lower direct costs and avoid maintenance/replacement costs, but also:
• Water usage reduction
• Reduction in the use of toxic chemicals, bringing a direct positive impact to the downstream environment and biodiversity
• Reduction in reliance on single use plastic
All the above result in direct and indirect green house gas (GHG) emissions reduction particularly from energy use reduction. - Stage of Development
