Olive Pomace as a Source of Nutrients: A nutrient-rich byproduct of olive oil production, it has become an essential raw material for Smallops in its pursuit of sustainability and circular economy. In this article, we explore how Smallops uses olive pomace to produce Suspended Biochar, an eco-friendly product framed in the circular economy and zero waste.
Olive Pomace as a Source of Nutrients
Transforming Olive Pomace into Biochar in Sustainable Suspension for use in Agriculture
The olive pomace, instead of being waste, becomes a source of nutrition for the soil and plants through an innovative process:
Hydrothermal Carbonization: Effective and Sustainable Solution
Smallops uses a circular and sustainable economy approach to convert olive pomace into Suspended Biochar. This process involves the controlled decomposition of olive pomace in an oxygen-free environment, creating a valuable product without harmful emissions.
Nutrient Use
During the process, the nutrients of the olive pomace are preserved in the Suspended Biochar, which makes it a source of slow-release nutrients for the plants, eliminating any type of compound that could negatively affect the crop such as polyphenols and the acidic character of this type of waste.
Circular Economy and Zero Waste
Olive Pomace as a Source of Nutrients
The production of Suspended Biochar from Smallops olive oil waste and by-products is a perfect example of circular economy and zero waste.
Waste Reduction
By transforming olive pomace into a valuable product, Smallops significantly reduces waste from the olive oil industry.
Closing the Nutrient Cycle
Suspended Biochar closes the nutrient cycle, allowing the nutrients contained in the olive pomace to return to the earth and strengthen agricultural soils.
Use of Pomace as a Source of Nutrients
Suspended Biochar from Smallops in Agriculture
Suspended Biochar is not only sustainable, but also offers significant advantages for agriculture:
Improving Soil Structure with Biochar
Suspended Biochar improves soil structure, increasing water retention capacity and aeration, which is beneficial for root growth.
Gradual Release Nutrients
Biochar gradually releases essential nutrients for plants, resulting in healthier and more sustainable growth.
In addition to the above, it should be noted that biochar is difficult to inject by fertigation, but Smallops technology manages to produce nanometric sizes ideal for direct application in irrigation.
Innovation in Sustainable Agriculture
