AGRO-BIOGENICS is short-from for Agro-Renewable Resources and Bio Renewable Resources. It encompasses the entire Renewable Resources, including sunlight, air, water and soil ... all of which result in the dynamics of matter and energy on earth (including life forms). Our thrust would be the creation of a new business paradigm that utilizes and recycles all of these, toward mitigating Global Warming and Poverty (GWP)
AGRO-BIOGENICS (Clean-tech) Private Limited is a newly formed company, with the following Business Objectives:
1. To carry on all of the businesses of utilizing and recycling all available renewable resources and non-toxic wastes, resulting in non-fossil energy, engineering materials, processed foods, bio-petrochemicals, bio-fertilizer, and bio-water by using Zero-waste Zero-Carbon Business-Model, through Agro-Polymer Industry Complex Sustainability Engineered Projects (APIX-SEP), independently and through joint ventures, in India and elsewhere in the world.
2. To define, devise, design, develop and commercialize, through industrial set up, Research and Development, industrial training or otherwise, an entirely new science and technology involved in conversions of Renewable Resources (plants, vegetation matter, animal matter, sunlight, rain and air) that would create self sustainability in the availability and general needs of the society, without excessively relying on fossil based or non-renewable resources; and to propagate these technologies within India and world wide, through Businesses or otherwise
THE NEXT BIG-THING (TNBT) is not the sophisticated explorations and voyages to Pluto or the Stars nor the specialty robotic gadgets or genetically modified cells in micro-bio-technology; but it would be the New Business Paradigm that simultaneously answers GLOBAL WARMING and POVERTY (GWP). The “on-the-ground” development would be brought about through sustainable development and utilization of available Renewable Resources (RR). This results in the said new business paradigm: ZERO-WASTE ZERO-CARBON BUSINESS-MODEL (ZW-ZC-BM). The practical conversions are based on processing available RR, in the forms of Vegetation/animal/human resources + sunlight/rain/air.
An example of an excellent Tropical vegetation system is the Banana specie. We would be converting banana plant wastes into products such as: Energy, Bio-petrochemicals, Molded Crockery, Molded Doors/ Wood substitute and many other utilitarian products. One of the highest value added products would be Molded Household Crockery
A Kg of banana plant fiber could be converted into 2.2 Kg of Molded Crockery (a few other ingredients would also be added in the molding composite ... Each Kg of Molded Crockery would be a composite of the following: Banana Fiber = 0.454 Kg + Specialty Polymer = 0.454 + Inorganic Inert materials/ non-toxic Industrial Wastes = 0.092 Kg (Thus, every Kg of dry fiber would become 2.2 Kg of Crockery!). In value terms, $0.17 worth banana fiber would become 2.2 Kg crockery, worth $23.4 (these are approximate computations) – a value addition of 137.6 (13, 760%). Another product is wood substitute board (named: Molded Strand Board, MSB). In this case, each Kg of the fiber system would be converted into 4 Kg of MSB. The unit value of a Kg in MSB is estimated @ $1.27 (about 750% of the base value of banana plant wastes).
The implications of such value-additions are many. One, the resultant Business-Model is a “high-return” proposition for any investor; Two, the potential to convert such RR into huge businesses is evident; Three, the opportunities for local village (farmland) development are immense. The value of Molded Crockery potential in 1000 ha banana plantation is a whopping $234, 000, 000 (total productions = 22, 000 tons). Even if only half of these estimates were to be practically achieved, that would still be BIG Business!
