Solution By converting infestations of hyacinth into bioplastics and biochar we are supporting aquatic ecosystem functioning, removing atmospheric carbon, generating biological life and water retention in soils and creating an alternative to conventional plastics. Revenue Model We hope to generate revenue via foundations, interested investors and carbon credits in the voluntary market. We feel that the project is viable fulfilling clear demands. Our strategic alliance with HyaPak of Kenya is a powerful plus given great success. Target Market We will target supermarkets and enterprises that use plastic bags. We will make Styrofoam substitutes for food dispensers. We will appeal to universities and institutions opposed to plastics. Re: biochar, we will target farmers, landscapers and nurseries. Social Impact Indigenous Peoples, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women, LGBTQI+ People Demand Evidence There is a general revulsion to conventional plastics given their visceral effects in rivers, reservoirs, highways, streets, beaches etc. There are promising initiatives to make single use plastics illegal. That would be a tremendous boost for the project Competitors There is no commercial promotion of truly ecological bioplastics or biochar. The biochar will admittedly need campaigns of promotion. Founder Expertise I worked for over a decade on environmental and climate issues. I conducted extensive campaigns in favor of alternatives. I help to coordinate national and international players for effective technical assistance. I am a team player to fulfill our needs. External Support We have not received financial support. We do have important technical backing from the faculties of engineering and agronomy of the National University. We also have backing of HyaPak winner of the UNEP prize for conversion of hyacinth into bioplastics.

Our solution permanently sequesters carbon and boosts agricultural productivity through rigorous scientific methods. Climate Problem We address soil degradation and the surplus of coconut waste, which emits methane as it decomposes. Nutrichar permanently sequesters carbon and reduces the use of chemicals, which is vital for agricultural resilience and global climate mitigation. Solution We transform coconut husks into biochar enriched with nutrients and nanostructures. In practice, we sequester carbon from waste and restore soil health, reducing our reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Revenue Model Our main source of revenue is the direct sale of enriched biochar to coffee and cocoa farms with which we already have development agreements. We will also expand into remediation companies and the sale of carbon credits. Target Market Our target market consists of coffee and cocoa exporters, farms growing staple crops, and soil remediation companies. We focus on high-value agriculture that requires soil regeneration and scientific validation. Social Impact Indigenous Peoples, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women Demand Evidence We validate market demand through agreements with coffee and cocoa farms for field trials, as they understand the benefits of biochar during periods of water stress and in the face of environmental and soil issues that necessitate soil regeneration Competitors We compete with traditional synthetic fertilizers and small-scale biochar producers. There are no competitors in the area that match our level of scientific rigor or our use of nanostructures, graphene, and mycorrhizae for nutrient enrichment. Founder Expertise We offer training in strategic thinking, business models, and digital marketing. We also bring technical leadership in advanced biotechnology (graphene, nanostructures) and strategic partnerships for scientific validation in the field. External Support We have agreements with coffee and cocoa farms for field validation. The Gloria de Kriete Foundation connects us with producers of staple crops, and Jorge Cuadra leads technical development in nanostructures, mycorrhizae, and graphene.
