Our core innovation, ecoHERO, is an on-farm processing unit that transforms high-moisture organic waste—including livestock slurry and anaerobic digestate—into a dry, slow-release
About
Organicco is pioneering a decentralised, on-farm system that transforms livestock slurry and food waste into tailored, nutrient-rich biofertiliser in just 24–72 hours. Our innovation, ecoHERO, uses a compact, jacketed reactor to stabilise organic waste, reduce methane emissions, and recover
nutrients in a form directly usable by crops. Unlike conventional anaerobic digestion or composting, ecoHERO operates without grid dependency, handles variable feedstocks, and delivers a consistent, pathogen-free product with defined NPK profiles. Backed by £2.5 million in R&D, our system empowers farms to cut fertiliser costs, boost soil health, and achieve circular, low-emission productivity—right at the source.
Key Benefits
On-farm biofertiliser in 24–72 hours – Rapid conversion of slurry and food waste into a high-quality, tailored fertiliser 90%.
Reduces methane emissions – Cuts greenhouse gas emissions from stored livestock waste by over 70%.
Improves soil health and yield – Stabilised nutrients with consistent NPK profile enhance crop performance and soil biology.
Replaces synthetic fertilisers – Reduces input costs and environmental impact with a regenerative alternative.
Grid-independent and decentralised – Operates on-farm without requiring complex infrastructure or logistics.
Supports carbon credit generation – Eligible under methane-avoidance methodologies for additional farmer revenue.
Handles diverse feedstocks – Accepts slurry, digestate, food waste, and fibre-rich residues like straw and peels.
Compact and scalable – Fits seamlessly into farm operations, with proven manufacturing scalability.
Applications
Our primary market includes livestock and mixed-use farms—especially dairy, pig, and poultry operations—that generate organic waste and face pressure to reduce emissions and fertiliser dependence. ecoHERO enables these farms to convert slurry and food waste into tailored biofertiliser on-site in 24–72 hours, eliminating the need for lagoon storage, reducing methane by up to 90%, and cutting synthetic fertiliser costs.
We also serve regenerative growers and retail supply chain producers (e.g. Tesco suppliers) who need sustainable, traceable inputs to meet soil health goals and carbon reduction targets. ecoHERO supports these outcomes with pathogen-free, stabilised fertiliser, improved nutrient uptake, and eligibility for carbon credit revenue through methane avoidance.
Additional markets include AD operators who can use ecoHERO to post-process digestate, reduce moisture content, and produce a solid, nutrient-rich fertiliser more efficiently. Internationally, we’re addressing needs in Ireland, India, and the Caribbean, where decentralised, grid-independent waste systems are essential. Across all markets, ecoHERO offers a fast, cost-effective, and scalable path to circular agriculture and climate-smart farming.
