Biolive

Advanced Materials & Chemicals
Waste Beneficiation

Biolive produces bioplastic raw materials such as Bio-PE, Bio-PP, and Bio-ABS in scale-up and next-gen materials such as plant-based leather and also offers sustainable solutions. Biolive’s raw materials are always cheaper than other bioplastics such as PLA, PHA, etc, and a little bit more expensive than petroleum-based plastics.

Their main product, BioPura, is a 100% bio-based and biodegradable bioplastic raw material which is produced from olive pits. BioPura is FDA-approved and also has some certifications regarding fully bio-based material by DIN Certco. BioPura’s benefits are bifold. From the olive industry perspective, Biolive closes the loop by upcycling their industrial waste which has no food value and no use area in any industry. Also, from the plastic industry’s perspective, Biolive provides maximum use of renewable resources for the plastic industry, lowering carbon footprints and helping brands to comply with the regulations.

Ecological Ballast Mount

Energy Efficiency

The team focuses on addressing the high cost of metal-intensive ballast fastening systems for solar power plants. The proposed solution is to replace the metal concrete guide element with prestressed concrete, which is a lightweight and cost-effective alternative. This can be achieved by manufacturing the necessary elements at two enterprises in Moldova and assembling a more economical ballast mounting system for photovoltaic panels. The use of prestressed concrete reduces the amount of metal required and lowers the cost of the system. It also reduces assembly time and can be used for buildings and roofs with low load-bearing capacity. The solution aims to provide a ready-to-use ballast system for fastening photovoltaic panels on roofs. The target market includes installers of ballast rooftop solar power plants, and the potential impact includes cost savings and reduced installation time. The leadership team consists of the founder, who has experience in the construction and sales of solar power plants, and their wife, who contributes precise questioning skills. The funding request is made to support the implementation of the business idea and ensure economic security for the family.

We protect today to have tomorrow!

Renewable Energy

The cleantech solution proposed by the company is the installation of photovoltaic panels to address the problem of reducing electricity consumption. With a small budget, the company aims to implement photovoltaic panels as a clean and economical energy solution that provides sustainable electricity without additional pollution. The benefits of this solution include long-term investment potential, savings from reduced energy consumption, and the ability to allocate the saved funds towards creating modern learning spaces. By harnessing the sun's rays, the photovoltaic panels offer a renewable and efficient source of electricity. The company seeks external capital to cover the installation costs, which will be sourced from the institution's budget and the local public authority. The installation of the panels is expected to result in significant electricity savings over time, contributing to a cleaner environment and a brighter future.
