FOOD TO FOOD PROGRAMMEPOSITIVE IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENTIMAGINE……
A world without food waste

Imagine………
If we can have a process
Uses no energy
Accepts all types of food
Leaves no carbon footprint
Requires NO special skills
Leaves no odour
Leaves a final product that isconsistent,no pathogens,and is effective

Imagine no more!!!!

Introducing the Bio Regen

Current system of handling food waste
Firstly waste from various sources are put into a central area within the vicinity

Street stalls
hotelsrestaurants

factories

farms

Houses/apartments
marketsoffices

Then the garbage trucks come to collect them

The trucks then take them to either landfill,incinerators or composting siteBefore the food waste is being collected you willhave….

Dogs and otheranimals

flies
And of course......
Cockroaches
and otherbugs
birds
Rodents

Foul smell

From the current system, we will have…

CO2/methane/leachate
A GREENHOUSE GAS 21 TIMES MORETOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT THA N CO2
In the narrow environmental context leachate is any liquidmaterial that drains from land or stockpiled material andcontains significantly elevated concentrations of undesirable
material derived from the material that it has passed through.

What if we can complete the cycle???

What does this mean?
 It means that we can now change the entire

concept of food waste management
 It means that we can now treat food waste as
and when it becomes available in a continuous
flow instead of batch by batch
 It means that we can now treat food waste atsource on a mass scale It means that food waste can now truly be aresource It means that it is now within the means ofprivate/public sector to handle their own foodwaste

The Benefits to the Environment
 Reduction of Transportation (meaning less CO2 from thetrucks as well) Reduction of Input To Landfill (meaning longer lifespanfor landfills)
 Reduction of CO2 & Methane Gas Emission (no need tospend millions trying to recover methane) Reduction of Leachate (no need to spend trying to treat
 Reduce contamination of recyclable products
 Promotes carbon sequestration (capture of carbon)
 Reduction of Compost & Fertilizer cost Support consistent crop growthWhat it 1.

means to the Owner

More efficient management of food waste
 2. Clean and hygienic (reduce rats, flies,cockroaches and other pest)
 3. Eliminate odor from having to store foodwaste before and after being collected 4. Reduce cost of disposal
 5. CSR 6. Earning Carbon Credits?

What it means to the farmers
 A bio soil enhancer that enhances naturalnutrients to the ground A bio soil enhancer that can improve carbon
in the soil
 consistent yields
 Cheaper production costs

What we Provide Outright purchase Lease and operated by Owner Rent and managed by Supplier Free collection of “processed Foodwaste”
 Mobile units After sales service

The Technology behind“The Bio-Regen process uses what we believe
is the best combination of bacterial
photosynthesis and multi-culture microbial
digestion available and is designed tospecifically incubate this special
photosynthesis within the process. The mainidea of the Bio-Regen is to use unused
nutrients to recreate and foster the process
which collected nutrients and energy in thefirst place.”…….Mr. Ken Bellamy However, we have found that by incubating

photosynthetic bacteria in our "soup" weare able to perpetuate the manufactureof sugar almost indefinitely. This means
we can continue to ferment -- andcontinue to create a barrier forpathogens -- almost indefinitely in theprocess of the Bio-Regen. This is a very
special discovery and it means we cansafely store and handle the unused foodwithout fear of infection orcontamination for long periods -- eventhough the material is stored in thesunshine!

 Some other key benefits for us in this process are:a. we don't have to be concerned about differences in thequality or nutrient levels in the feedstocks. Where we canincubate bacterial photosynthesis, minerals are farmed fromthe air -- this means Carbon and Nitrogen and many othersubstances are actually sequestered (or pulled out) of theatmosphere by the organisms we are growing (just like trees
and other bacteria do that).
This means that even though we have a mixed -- anduncontrolled -- input of feedstock, we can have a very
uniform output material because the bacteria make up any
shortfall themselves -- something absolutely critical if weare to produce a commercially viable end product.
b. bacterial photosynthesis has an effect on carbon
sequestration where it can be fostered. The UN Food andAgriculture committee suggests that 20% of all carbon
sequestered from the atmosphere is due to bacterial
photosynthesis. So to whatever extent we can foster thisreaction -- either in the Bio-Regen process or later in thesoil where the organisms come to live -- we can improve onc. These bacteria perform photosynthesis using
different bands of light than plants -- and can
do it at virtually all times and in all sorts ofplaces. This means we can have a virtuallyconstant energy capture and carbon capture
process going on in the Bio-Regen regardless ofcloudy days, rainy days, night time, shade in abuilding, etc etc. These organisms use UV andInfra Red Light to make their own food -- quite
remarkable.

d. When these organisms can be grown up in soil,
they have a couple of incredible benefits forsoil including: The ability to capture carbon

This means that all in all, there is the ability to use
unused food to re-generate the processes which
underpin the growing of food.
Of course there are all sorts of things which may impact
on this -- human error, farming systems which areunfavourable, incorrect use of the system, etc etc -- but
we are confident that the friendly nature of the BioRegen process and the fact that it lets people become
connected with their food -- where it comes from andwhere it goes to -- rather than being disconnected in theway we often are, will help overcome these impediments.

Important point to note
The entire process is simple enough thatthe amount of food waste processed can beeasily monitored and verified for
implementation for a future carbon offset
