Grinove Materials

Waste Beneficiation

Grinove Materials (formerly BiGGbiodesign | Bio Innovative Green Growth Inc.) develops plant-based, biodegradable fiber materials derived from agricultural residues, with applications in sustainable packaging and disposable products. The company’s work targets the environmental and resource challenges associated with conventional paper and plastic packaging by enabling alternative bio-based material streams. Grinove Materials’ core process enzymatically valorizes post-harvest agricultural waste, such as wheat straw, to produce pulp suitable for molded fiber applications. The process uses enzymes rather than harsh chemicals and yields cellulose-rich fiber feedstock compatible with existing molded packaging production lines. The resulting materials are designed to be compostable and recyclable and meet relevant regulatory and food-contact safety standards. End-of-life outputs, including residual stream components, can return to soil as compost or fertilizer, supporting circular material flows between agricultural and packaging sectors. Grinove Materials’ technology can be used in food service packaging, secondary packaging applications and other disposable material contexts where biodegradability, plant-based feedstocks, and reduced reliance on wood and plastics are priorities.

Biomiles Biyolojik Mücadele Arge Sanayi Ticaret ve Limited Şirketi

Advanced Materials & Chemicals

The company Biomiles Biyolojik Mücadele Arge Sanayi Ticaret ve Limited Şirketi focuses on the domestic mass production of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius colemani, a widely recognized biological control agent used against aphids in agriculture and landscaping. While Aphidius colemani is currently imported from international firms like Biobest and Koppert, this initiative aims to establish a cost-effective and high-performance local alternative. Local production ensures greater efficacy by reducing the insect’s exposure to long-distance transport, thereby preserving its biological activity. The production process incorporates artificial diets to enhance performance, and genetic diversity is maintained through periodic introduction of wild individuals. This approach offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to chemical pesticides, addressing the growing demand for residue-free agricultural products and environmentally safe pest control methods.
