Transforming Waste into Value

At Renova BioRefinery, we believe that one person's waste can be another's innovative solution. Our feedstock-agnostic, circular biorefinery platform is designed to revolutionize how we view bio-based waste streams, turning them into high-purity biopolymers and regenerative agricultural inputs. With a strong commitment to sustainability, we're making it practical, affordable, and scalable to use these materials in various industries.

The Role of AI and Machine Learning

To effectively tackle real-world variability in feedstock, we leverage a data-driven and AI/ML-enabled process stack. Here’s how it works:

• Modeling Material Characteristics: We analyze incoming materials to understand their unique properties, ensuring they are suitable for conversion.
• Optimizing Extraction and Purification: Using advanced algorithms, we optimize conditions to achieve the highest yield and quality from each input.
• Continuous Learning: Our systems incorporate feedback from quality analytics, continually improving performance and maintaining consistent specifications.

Our Innovative Products

Our biorefinery produces a variety of high-value products that cater to different markets:

• Keratin-based Biomaterials: Derived from natural sources, keratin-based products offer applications in cosmetics and personal care.
• Melanin-derived Functional Actives: These actives serve in advanced materials and cosmetic formulations, enhancing both sustainability and efficacy.
• Nutrient-rich Bio-fertilizers: Our bio-fertilizers not only reduce waste but also enrich the soil, promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

A Near-Zero-Waste System

Our engineering approach emphasizes sustainability at every stage:

• Recyclable Ionic-Liquid and Enzymatic Routes: We employ innovative extraction methods that minimize environmental impact.
• Solvent Recovery: Solvents used in the process are recovered and reused, further reducing waste.
• Integrated Co-product Upgrading: Leftover fractions from the primary products are valorized as bio-fertilizers, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.

These steps create a seamless flow from inputs to intermediates to refined outputs, exemplifying our commitment to a circular economy.

Execution Plan

Our approach to scaling the biorefinery includes:

• Phase 1: Launching an India-first pilot for verifying yields and developing standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Phase 2: Establishing supply-chain partnerships to ensure quality and scalability.
• Phase 3: Commercial global scale-up aiming for multi-market access and wider adoption.

Conclusion

By harnessing overlooked bio-based waste streams, Renova BioRefinery is paving the way for a more sustainable future. Our innovative processes not only provide high-quality biopolymers and regenerative agricultural inputs but also champion an eco-friendly approach to material production. Together, we can reduce waste, enhance sustainability, and cultivate a greener planet.
