Zeronix

Zeronix provides services for waste collection and disposal, sorting and recycling. To process organic matter, the company grows black lion's fly larvae. These larvae feed on food waste and process it into humus, a natural fertilizer, and the larvae themselves are sold as a food additive.

Another area of ​ ​ Zeronix's activity is the processing of composite paper, from which, for example, coffee cups and packaging are made, into secondary raw materials (due to dry dissolution into polyaluminum and cellulose, which are then used to make paper, cardboard, pipes, plaster and other building mixtures).

By early July 2022, the startup is also developing technologies for processing construction waste - for example, it is working on the possibility of producing pallets of compressed wood waste. From the fragments of brick and concrete slabs you can make curbs, urns, flower beds, noted in Zeronix.
