Circular Economy in Construction: Certified Bio-Based Binders and Fertilizers

Medusoil has achieved a major breakthrough in the circular economy with the official certification of its bio-based production model by the Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG). Our technology transforms industrial by-products into high-value resources, benefiting both the construction and agriculture sectors.

Closing the Loop: From Construction Waste to Agritech

Traditional construction and agriculture rely heavily on energy-intensive, fossil-based inputs. Medusoil addresses this challenge through biocementation—a natural process that reinforces soil while generating valuable by-products. This dual-impact approach reduces waste and provides a sustainable alternative to traditional mineral extraction.

A Certified, Carbon-Negative Fertilizer

Our process yields a recycled ammonium sulfate fertilizer with a verified carbon footprint of –0.35 kg CO₂ per kg produced. Unlike conventional fertilizers, this circular solution lowers greenhouse gas emissions while providing high-performance nutrients for farmers. To date, over 15,000 kg have been distributed, proving the field-scale viability of our regenerative model.

Key Advantages of Medusoil’s Circular Model

• Resource Optimization: Repurposes demolition and excavation waste into structural binders.
• Environmental Certification: Validated by FOAG for use in sustainable agritech.
• Decarbonization: Replaces fossil-based inputs with carbon-negative alternatives.
