TECHNIQUE

Methods

Equipment

Basidiomycetes or Ascomycetes isolated from the compost

Biowaste sample (fish, meat, fruits, vegetable...) from DM Compost

Green waste (peelings, leaves, flowers, tea bags...) from DM Compost

2. Isolation of fungi from the sample collected

1. Biowaste

3. Identification of isolated strains of interest

4. Characterization of identified strains

5. Semi-industrial scale test at DM Compost

Growth under 3 different culture conditions (20°C, 35°C, 75°C + antibiotic or not)

Growth on 4 different media

Identify the species: Characterization of the phenotype (diameter? appearance? color? secretion in the medium? ...)

Identify the genus: Microscopic observation

at SBIP laboratory

Speed of fungus growth

MARKET

SWOT

Strengths : Naturel product, Bio-inspired, International dimension, Answer to a need for faster garbage treating.

Weaknesses : Only in large scale, depends on the environment.

Opportunities : Law Grenelle, partnership with DM compost, Mentality tend to recycle more and treat garbage.

Threats : Depend of DM compost, Niche market.

PESTLE

Political : Local authority established compost in school, restaurant and public places.

Economic : Funding for formation about compost.

Social : Huge sensibilisation about garbage waste.

Technology :

Legal : Loi Grenelle, ADEME, Loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte.

Environnement : Accumulation of waste and garbage. Increasing amount of compost that needs to be treated.

COMPETITORS

Upcycle : Electromagnetic compost based on bacteria digestion, composts in 15 days


Les alchimistes : Company which collect bio-waste and treat it by electromagnetic compost


Love your waste : treat bio-waste only by methanization

Ascomycete

Trichoderma harzianum

Mycopathogene + Mycorhizien

Eloïse

Fungi type

Characteristics

Thermoresistant

Thermotolerant

Containing cellulase and protease

GRAS

Laboratory equipments for the growth of fungi (culture medium, centrifuge, petri dishes...)

at SBIP laboratory

Quality of enzyme degradation (cellulase or protease activity...)

Substrat affinity (sterilized media)

At 3 different stages of decomposition

Collect Biowaste from DM Compost platform
