Turning Waste into Wonders with Bio Enzymes

Bio enzymes are derived from garbage waste through a simple fermentation process. Produced by a consort of good microbes in the presence of one portion of jaggery, three portions of fresh organic waste and ten portions of water that is allowed to age for at least 90 days. Bio enzymes is a murky brown liquid that is diluted before use to digest dirt, waste, grease, stains and odors. They are environment friendly sustainable replacement for pesticides, disinfectants and chemical cleaners due to their lower carbon footprint.

Developing bio enzymes not only addresses waste management but also creates functional enzymes for various applications.

• Agriculture: natural soil vitalizer as it breaks down organic matter in the soil to make essential nutrients more accessible to plants, improves soil health, enhances composting processes, boosts plant growth, foliar spray prevents pest and microbial infestations, best suited as liquid fertilizer for home garden and polyhouse applications to increase the flowering and fruiting.

• Household cleaner: washing clothes, cleaning bathrooms, drains, toilets, utensils, mopping floor to keep flies and insects away, de-odorize carpets, floors, sofas and beds as they are safe to use on all soft and hard surfaces including around children, elderly and pets.

• Personal care: natural cleanser as replacement for shampoos for hair vitality and growth, bath gel, face wash, hand wash, sanitizer.

• Pet care: Deodorizer for pets and fish aquariums, shampoo for pet animals.

The bio enzyme enterprise is an emerging business opportunity in India, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, USA and Australia. To address environmental issues, create economic value, and tap into a growing market for sustainable solutions, startups are encouraged to take up bio enzyme production and commercialization.
