Hunter's comment

The Project

To satisfy consumer demand for mushrooms, European farmers use over three million tonnes of compost each year. Though the compost contains valuable organic components, it is only suitable for one to three mushroom harvests, and disposing of it creates significant economic and logistical problems for Europe’s farmers.

Goals

This novel bio-refinery idea is aimed at recovering vast amount of mushroom compost and converting it into bio-products like:

bio-pesticide
biodegradable nano-carriers for drug or fertiliser encapsulation
bio-based horticultural fertilisers

My Feedback

I believe, this is a great idea and can use vast amount of mushroom compost into valuable bio-products that will not only help in the betterment of economy but also that of environment.
