About Us.
The company was founded by a group of passionate students from all over Southeast Asia. After observing the massive amounts of bio-waste produced in Indonesia from coconut shells and durian husks, we were determined to reduce the amount of waste and decrease the carbon footprint of countries. After placing second in the YALA business pitch and being awarded $1000 SGD in seed funding, we plan to expand operations and start selling and producing our product.
Our project aims to create a simple, affordable pyrolysis machine which can turn the bio-waste into biochar for personal use, helping both local farmers and our environment.
