🌿 What is 3R Technology?
The 3R Zero Emission Pyrolysis is an advanced, bio-based upcycling technology that converts unexploited biomass—such as food-grade animal bones—into high-value products through a zero-emission, energy-independent process.
⚙️ Core Process
Reductive thermal decomposition under vacuum: Plant biomass is processed at ≤450 °C material core temperature, while animal bones, as of technical requirements, need to be processed at ≥850 °C to ensure complete phosphorus recovery. The vacuum environment prevents oxidation and guarantees clean, contaminant-free outputs.
Autothermal operation: The system generates all required heat internally and produces surplus electricity at industrial scale.
Zero-emission: All material streams are fully upcycled into safe, high-value products.
🌍 Global Relevance
The 3R technology addresses critical global challenges:
Phosphorus scarcity: Phosphorus is a finite resource essential for agriculture.
Circular economy: The technology supports the transition to a circular bioeconomy by recycling unexploited biomass into valuable products.
Climate resilience: The zero-emission process contributes to climate-neutral operations and supports global sustainability goals.
In a world with finite resources there is no infinite development opportunity with sustainability, unless circular economy is not fully implemented. In this context there is no one fit for all processing technology or product solution, but still only the high end solutions are viable and sustainable. The 3R zero emission/energy independent pyrolysis technology provides market competitive and advanced replication model with BAT/BREF (best available technology reference). Recycling of un-exploited biomass resources, such as animal by-products by the advanced 3R pyrolysis technology, generates new resources and market demanded high added value products.
The 3R is an advanced bio-based novel pyrolysis and carbon bio-refinery upcycling technology for recovery of natural BioPhosphate products with zero emission and energy independent circular processing and carbon negative product application performance for high market creating agri and industrial use at less cost.
The objective of the 3R ZERO EMISSION PYROLYSIS PROCESS, NUTRIENT RECOVERY AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION technology is the added value upgrading and valorisation of animal by-products into safe and high value recovered organic Phosphorous fertiliser and bio-oil by integrated thermal and biotechnological recycling means.
The 3R zero emission carbon processing and nutrient recovery understands the language of the Mother Nature and takes lessons from Her. The term waste is unknown in the Mother Nature as all and any materials must be re-processed, upcycled and reused in a most efficient way, as simply no any creatures can afford to lose any available resources. Same as the 3R zero emission carbon processing means a total upcycling and reuse of agricultural and food industrial by-product materials, "the resources", for conversion into high added value recovered organic fertiliser and other bioproducts.As a result, the 3R novel processing and upcycling method with innovative products open new technical, economic, environmental and climate solution opportunities, specifically targeted for the temperate climatic zone countries applications in the EU, USA, Australia, Japan and South Korea.

3R zero emission technology application map: AI Artificial Intelligence supported upcycling of byproducts
The INPUT FEED STREAMS are low value and unexploited agri/food by-products; including high Phosphorus content food grade (category 3) animal bone grist. The OUTPUT PRODUCTS are high quality and safe "ABC" (Animal Bone Char) BioPhosphate or other types of biochar products for wide range of agricultural (recovered natural Phosphorus biofertiliser or soil improver) and environmental (adsorbent) applications.
The specific 3R zero emission pyrolysis and nutrient recovery process is based on a horizontally arranged, indirectly heated revolutionary designed rotary kiln, providing reductive thermal decomposition of any biomass at as high as 850 degree C material core temperature in vacuum. The highly efficient 3R pyrolysis process providing comprehensive upcycling and the reuse of all material and gas feed streams. No any chemicals used. The output natural products are tested and validated for open ecological soil applications by the Soil and Plant Protection Authority. Moreover the 3R process provides high feed flexibility: it's efficient for carbon and resource conversion both for animal by-products and plant based biomass, suitable for different climatic zone applications. Although it's a complex highly advanced and comprehensive performance, the 3R technology does not contain any exotic technical solutions and materials.
The 3R biomass upcycling offers economic viability, rapid returns, generates new resources, produces high market demanded natural products and low cost green energy. The 3R technology also has a great potential for resource conservation, nutrient recovery and GHG (greenhouse gas) emission reduction as well. The 3R pyrolysis process is a patented original solution and industrial design, its development is priority supported by the EU. The 3R competitive eco-innovative process and operational prototype at high investment readiness level has been successfully demonstrated (3R Pyrolysis Center) regional capacity 2.000 t/y unit.
