Biological solutions transforming dust into solid roads for sustainable mining. They specialize in biological binders for dust control and road stabilization, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional methods. Their technology reduces water usage, enhances road quality, and supports decarbonization efforts in the mining industry. The biological dust control method uses biocementation, a natural process that turns sand into stone, creating a solid layer. This non-toxic approach benefits the environment and provides cost savings by reducing rehabilitation and operational expenses. They offer patented formulations tailored to specific mine conditions, including solutions for haulage roads, secondary roads, tailings facilities, and stockpiles. Their product portfolio includes wet-stable biological dust control, an alternative to crude-oil-based bitumen blends. They aim to provide advanced, cost-effective dust control products, revolutionizing practices in mining with efficient and eco-friendly solutions. This is a B2B business model with a social impact.
