Founders message
Dear Environmental Friend.
Our story begins:
1990
My interest for food waste and other organic material developed when faced with our current unsustainable practises, therefore my development to learning & evolving a solution with advance science practise & technologies, to better utilise our organic waste streams with sustainable outcomes. Swedish authorities also decided that composting of not only Green waste but also ordinary food waste was allowed.
1993
A patent was received for a continuously fed drum composter for condos and family houses with a capacity for 40 – 100 households. Composting at that time took about 6 weeks. Please Note… continuously fed not a batch fed system! Therefore it doesn’t require double handling, or for production to be stopped, unlike batch fed.
1997
With the invention of a new composter featuring a rotating axle and combining both heat and a special mix of BioNova microbes, we were able to develop a unique, one-time microbial feed required only at startup. Composting time was reduced to just 48-72 hours.
(The market between 1990 -1997 was mainly Sweden and during 1997-2009 it included Norway.)
2009
A co-operation started with BioNova Recycling Ltd in UK.
2012
By improving the mix of BioNova CC microbes, the composting time is now less than 24 hours!,and with further future development, we envisage less time again soon, that could include other waste streams..
2014 – 2019
A new collaboration with Irish company Harp Renewables Ltd emerged. After parting ways, BioNova continues under the leadership of its original founder and innovator.
2019 – 2025
During this period we have been able to broaden our range to include the world’s largest BioNova Digesters suitable for Waste Management, Communities & Food Industries. Please find more information under Products.
In addition we now include Disc Dryers for organic sludge from sewage or food industries. Our end product can be used as a Soil Improver, Fertilizer or Biomass, when combined with Biomass boilers or BioNova approved Pyrolysis equipment, the biomass could further be utilised internally for energy, heat, electricity or biochar.
BioNova International has expanded to other countries, with our new sister company BioNova Pacific Pty Ltd, Asia & India as well as North America.
If you are interested in our technology and ideas, or you would like to participate in our journey together, we invite you as a possible territory distributor or investor.
