We are pleased to present the third Waste4Soil Living Lab, located in the Central-Transdanubian region of Hungary.
This Living Lab focuses on circular solutions using ABC Animal Bone biochar (Compochar), applied as a combined soil improver and biofertilizer on key crops:
- Tomatoes
- Corn
- Wheat
The aims to demonstrate legal compliance, effectiveness, and circular economic performance of these innovative products, generating both financial and non-financial benefits for farmers, stakeholders, and the wider value chain.
Researchers are developing biotechnologically formulated ABC-Compochar from food processing residues, including:
- Animal bone meal & rendered animal by-products
- Acidic whey (a dairy processing by-product) used for microbiological inoculants
This initiative showcases how waste-derived bio-based inputs can improve soil health, support sustainable agriculture, and contribute to a circular economy.
