This solution not only removes odors using microorganisms and minerals but can also be converted into soil conditioners and fertilizers, greatly aiding sustainable livestock-crop circular agriculture. Having completed patent applications, this technology is attracting significant attention from both the livestock industry and academia, and is expected to make a substantial contribution to solving environmental issues and establishing a sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

Founded in June 2019, Biotech Co., Ltd. was selected as an excellent venture company in 2022 and has established itself as an innovative company developing products that recycle livestock waste to protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future.

With the management philosophy of "Let’s save the earth," the company combines environmental technology and bio-materials with unique technological capabilities, gaining considerable attention both domestically and internationally. Let’s explore Biotech Co., Ltd.'s research achievements so far and its future vision and direction.

◆ Innovative Technologies and Achievements for Environment and Society

Biotech Co., Ltd. is a bio-material specialized company holding 12 patented technologies, including microbial fermentation promotion technology, sulfur formulation technology, and artificial intelligence cultivation technology, utilizing microorganisms and minerals. Notably, they developed 'AllClean803,' the first deodorizer in Korea using livestock manure, achieving a dual effect of solving livestock odor problems and reducing greenhouse gases.

Additionally, supported by the Korea Invention Promotion Association, they conducted basic research on performance analysis and recycling quality certification (GR certification) with the Korea Chemical Convergence Testing Institute. The deodorizer 'AllClean101,' already on the market, is used in livestock farms, food waste recycling facilities, and sewage treatment plants, proving its excellent performance.

Moreover, the company produces 'AllPower101,' a feed additive that reduces ammonia emissions from livestock. Feeding this additive alone results in a remarkable reduction of manure volume and odor by about 70%, drawing significant attention from the livestock sector.

Biotech Co., Ltd.'s innovative products are registered on the Public Procurement Service's Nara Marketplace, opening pathways to contribute to environmental improvement tasks of local governments and public institutions.

Not resting on past achievements, Biotech Co., Ltd. continues research in collaboration with the environment sector and K-MEDI Hub (Daegu Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation) through national projects, studying animal immune enhancement effects and carbon reduction.

◆ Sustainable Livestock and Crop Industry Model and Regional Economic Revitalization

Biotech Co., Ltd. creates economic value by recycling livestock manure and practices a sustainable 'livestock-crop circular agriculture' model. This approach not only resolves odor problems around livestock farms but also acts as a catalyst for the development of eco-friendly livestock and crop industries, potentially increasing farm incomes?a win-win effect.

Furthermore, to advance technology, the company promotes related technology development and cooperation through an organic network with over 20 local universities and related institutions. These efforts play a crucial role in realizing environmental protection and regional economic coexistence.

◆ Challenges Toward ESG Management and Creating Social Value

Biotech Co., Ltd.'s inception and research stemmed from a desire to solve soil acidification and environmental degradation caused by excessive chemical fertilizer use in modern agriculture.

Beyond mere profit generation, the company has established itself as a socially responsible enterprise that achieves mutual growth with the local community through ESG management. Additionally, by signing a small and medium-sized enterprise performance-sharing agreement, it shares benefits between labor and management, significantly contributing to becoming a company that grows together with the local community.
