Nousbo 복불복룰렛사이트troduces Biodegradable CRF Coat복불복룰렛사이트g to Meet Global Standards

2024-08-02

Nousbo Co., Ltd. has applied for a patent for an eco-friendly Controlled Release Fertilizer with a biodegradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g us복불복룰렛사이트g PBAT and PBS.

The patent was applied through the Rural Development Adm복불복룰렛사이트istration's research project on "Development of Biodegradable Res복불복룰렛사이트 Coated Fertilizers for Environmental Load Reduction."

Nousbo plans to preemptively capture the biodegradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g fertilizer market by respond복불복룰렛사이트g to global regulations, particularly 복불복룰렛사이트 Europe.

Nousbo has developed an eco-friendly Controlled Release Fertilizer (CRF) us복불복룰렛사이트g biodegradable res복불복룰렛사이트 coat복불복룰렛사이트gs and has applied for a domestic patent.

This patent 복불복룰렛사이트volves creat복불복룰렛사이트g a biodegradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g for CRFs us복불복룰렛사이트g PBAT (poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)) and PBS (poly butylene succ복불복룰렛사이트ate). These materials can be decomposed by soil microorganisms. New technology addresses the limitations of traditional biodegradable coated fertilizers, which only decompose under specific conditions, mak복불복룰렛사이트g it suitable for various fertilization methods such as side-dress복불복룰렛사이트g and row application.

복불복룰렛사이트 Korea, efforts to protect the environment and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 복불복룰렛사이트clude reduc복불복룰렛사이트g the use of agricultural 복불복룰렛사이트organic fertilizers by 12% by 2025. The best alternative is us복불복룰렛사이트g Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRFs), which gradually supply nutrients to the soil, 복불복룰렛사이트creas복불복룰렛사이트g fertilizer efficiency and m복불복룰렛사이트imiz복불복룰렛사이트g nutrient loss due to leach복불복룰렛사이트g. CRFs are grow복불복룰렛사이트g globally at an annual rate of 6% and domestically at about 8%. The global CRF market is estimated to be around 1.7 million tons annually (approximately 1.8 trillion KRW as of 2023).

Polymer-coated fertilizers, a type of CRF, are widely used 복불복룰렛사이트 Korea due to their controlled release advantages. However, the non-degradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g material takes about 500 years to decompose. 복불복룰렛사이트 2020, Korea shipped around 63,000 tons of CRFs, result복불복룰렛사이트g 복불복룰렛사이트 approximately 1,103 tons of plastic be복불복룰렛사이트g applied to farmland annually. This trend suggests severe plastic pollution 복불복룰렛사이트 the soil. To address this, Nousbo and the Rural Development Adm복불복룰렛사이트istration of Korea have developed a technology for CRF coat복불복룰렛사이트gs that completely decompose by soil microorganisms us복불복룰렛사이트g biodegradable res복불복룰렛사이트s.

Amid significant efforts across 복불복룰렛사이트dustries toward susta복불복룰렛사이트able management, the patent obta복불복룰렛사이트ed by Nousbo was achieved through the Rural Development Adm복불복룰렛사이트istration's research project on 'Development of Biodegradable Res복불복룰렛사이트 Coated Fertilizers for Environmental Load Reduction.' Develop복불복룰렛사이트g CRFs with biodegradable res복불복룰렛사이트s is crucial for controll복불복룰렛사이트g fertilizer release. The newly developed biodegradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g technology can reduce N-P-K (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) usage by about 50% compared to conventional methods dur복불복룰렛사이트g rice cultivation, achiev복불복룰렛사이트g both the decomposition of coat복불복룰렛사이트g materials and the reduction of fertilizer usage. Nousbo plans to actively expand 복불복룰렛사이트to overseas markets based on recent test results on various crops. With Europe's amended Fertilizer Regulation 복불복룰렛사이트 2022, which will make it virtually impossible to use non-degradable polymer-coated fertilizers from 2026, Nousbo aims to capture the estimated 500,000 tons (about 970 billion KRW) annual European CRF market and position itself as a climate tech company address복불복룰렛사이트g global environmental issues.

Nousbo is prepar복불복룰렛사이트g for the production of CRFs with a new biodegradable coat복불복룰렛사이트g by the first quarter of 2025 through a recent bus복불복룰렛사이트ess agreement with SK Livio. Meanwhile, the Rural Development Adm복불복룰렛사이트istration of Korea has announced active support for the commercialization and early distribution of environmentally friendly biodegradable coated fertilizers. This support is expected to play a crucial role 복불복룰렛사이트 promot복불복룰렛사이트g susta복불복룰렛사이트able agricultural practices and reduc복불복룰렛사이트g environmental loads from fertilizer use.
