Goal of the project
Implementation of an integrated organic waste processing system and production of premium fertilizers using the HUMANAT GIE CP peat biomatrix for the subsequent export of finished products – HUMANAT GIOS organic fertilizer and HUMANAT GIOS NB organo-mineral nitrogen fertilizer – to EU and Middle Eastern markets for soil fertility restoration, as well as for domestic market applications.
Project Concept
Production of premium fertilizers through the composting of organic waste, including digestate, using the HUMANAT CB IOS composting bioactivator, consisting of the HUMANAT GIE CP peat matrix and peat extract enriched with HUMANAT CB IOS microbial compositions.
Technology
Composting of local organic waste using the HUMANAT GIE CP peat biomatrix and the HUMANAT CB IOS composting bioactivator.
PROBLEM AND MARKET OVERVIEW
Shortage of effective solutions for organic waste processing and soil restoration
Digestate
Biogas plants generate large volumes of organic by-products in the form of digestate with high moisture content (~90%), which is currently used as technical compost with limited market value.
Organic Waste
The tourism industry and processing enterprises generate approximately 16.5–20 million tonnes of organic waste annually.
Shortage of Organic Fertilizers
Growing demand for high-quality organic and organo-mineral fertilizers in Turkey, Europe and the Middle East.
EVALUATION OF ORGANIC AMELIORANTS AND COMPLEX FERTILIZERS APPLICATION BASED ON SOIL CONDITIONS IN TURKEY
Modified HUMANAT GIE CP Peat Matrix
A peat matrix composed of highly decomposed lowland peat containing more than 50% humic substances by weight, treated with a modified peat extract. Due to its high sorption capacity, it provides an ideal medium for hosting microbial compositions.
Microbial Compositions
Specialized microbial compositions incorporated into HUMANAT CB IOS peat extract accelerate composting, ensure rapid decomposition of organic matter, and suppress pathogens and odors.
Organic Waste
Plant biomass residues, livestock waste, food waste, digestate, and other sources of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
Fertilizers
High-quality HUMANAT fertilizers – organic and organo-mineral products for both domestic use and premium export markets.
TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION
Ensuring the principles of a cyclic economy
BELARUSIAN RAW MATERIAL BASE
Belarusian peat as a strategic raw material resource
High Humic Acid Content
Improves soil structure and stimulates the uptake of mineral nutrients from the soil.
Moisture Retention Capacity of the Peat Matrix
Water absorption of up to 500% of its own weight. Particularly valuable for arid regions of Turkey.
Consistent Raw Material Quality
Industrial peat extraction and processing ensure uniformity and reproducibility of product characteristics.
Logistics
Supply volumes starting from 100,000 tonnes per year through the ports of Izmir and Mersin, with potential expansion up to 500,000 tonnes annually.

Application Areas of the Technology
Organic Waste
Composting of waste from the hospitality sector, food processing facilities, and manufacturing industries using the PEATMATRIX technology.
Output:
Premium-grade granulated organic fertilizer for export markets.
Digestate from Biogas Plants
Digestate obtained after anaerobic digestion is blended with peat, bioactivator, and structuring components.
Output:
Organic fertilizer with high agronomic value after stabilization and granulation.
Small-Scale Composters
Portable composters for cafés, small hotels, and local facilities. Special cartridges containing peat and composting bioactivator enable processing of up to 20 kg of organic waste per day.
Output:
Finished fertilizer for landscaping and green area maintenance.
