Technology/ Innovation: Photocatalytic Technology for Maintaining the Freshness of Agricultural Products by KALTECH; Microorganism-Based Food Waste Decomposition System by Komham
- Photocatalytic technology breaks down organic compounds in the air into water and carbon dioxide through an advanced oxidation process.
- Smart compost using microorganisms that decomposes 98% of organic matter in as little as one day
Overview of Technology/ Project:
- The Photocatalytic technology of our partner company: KALTECH breaks down organic compounds in the air into water and carbon dioxide through an advanced oxidation process. By decomposing airborne mold spores, it significantly slows the deterioration of agricultural products, effectively extending their freshness. This low‑energy, chemical‑free solution provides a sustainable method to maintain product quality during storage and distribution, offering strong value for producers, retailers, and supply‑chain operators seeking longer shelf life and reduced post‑harvest loss.
- The microorganism food‑waste decomposition technology of our partner company: Komham breaks down 98% of organic matter in approximately one day. The system uses a solar‑powered smart composting unit, enabling off‑grid, low‑energy operation. By drastically reducing landfill waste and transforming the remaining residue into usable compost, this solution addresses critical waste‑management challenges and supports a more sustainable, circular economy for communities and municipalities.
