Rethinking biosolids for today’s changing regulations

Federal and state frameworks govern how biosolids are treated, disposed of, or reused. With evolving regulatory expectations and mounting scrutiny of traditional pathways like land application and landfills, engineered biochar offers a controlled, compliant alternative that transforms biosolids into a stable material through heat, not chemical additives.

What is biochar?

Biochar is a carbon-rich product created through the thermal decomposition of organic waste.

By converting organic waste into biochar, we provide a sustainable solution that addresses emerging contaminants like PFAS, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals while providing remediation and construction material solutions and contributing to carbon sequestration.


Carbon Sequestration

Biochar provides durable carbon removal when land-applied, playing a significant role in the growing carbon economy.


Filtration Media

Biochar captures metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and PFAS, and supports circular treatment systems by reducing PFAS through thermal processing.

Biochar sequesters metals and other contaminants in polluted soils, aiding in environmental cleanup.


Construction Materials Additive

Biochar derived from biosolids can be incorporated into construction materials, offering a consistent resource that diverts waste from landfills and supports a circular reuse system.

Turning waste into a resource.

This approach follows the ideas of a circular economy by turning organic waste streams, like biosolids, into a valuable and stable form of carbon called biochar. Turning these materials into useful resources keeps waste out of landfills and puts it to work in environmental cleanup, construction, and long-term carbon storage.

A cleaner path for managing biosolids.

This approach converts an organic waste stream into stable biochar that can support circular reuse, environmental remediation, and carbon storage.

What are biosolids?

Biosolids are nutrient-rich organic materials created during wastewater treatment. After solids are separated from water and processed to reduce germs and odors, they can be converted into renewable energy and biochar, reducing landfill disposal and creating useful materials for construction, filtration, and remediation.

What is biochar?

Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich product created by heating organic waste. Converting biosolids into biochar can help address contaminants such as PFAS while producing a useful material for environmental cleanup, construction materials, and long-term carbon storage.
