For the first time ever, ekolive offers a new solution for mining and agriculture - which is on the one hand a process and on the other hand a product. We are the only provider of an EU Certified (ETV) ecological bioleaching technology that can upgrade primary and secondary minerals/waste of low quality and/or reintroduce it into the industrial cycle. The resulting liquid media can be used to produce new-generation biostimulants with incredible effects on soil regeneration, plant growth and health. Both the bioleaching process itself and the resulting products, which contain liquid micronutrients from dissolved natural minerals, probiotic and growth-promoting bacteria and wide spectrum of valuable proteins, bacteriocins, alcohols, organic acids, are unique, stimulating plant hormones and siderophores to make them strong and healthy - all naturally produced with no energy and no volume limitation. This new biotechnological process can completely transform global mining by substituting hazardous mining technologies and associated mining waste, while the resulting products can sustainably reduce the use of agrochemicals and enable healthy and sustainable food production. This has recently been recognized and awarded by both the world's most respected agricultural university and the largest chemical company.
The primary objective is in the raw materials/waste sector, where we use bioleaching to extract minerals and create materials of higher industrial value - or enable recycling or even upcycling of waste. The second objective is the production and application of the biostimulants thus created, with significant economic, environmental and even climatic effects: the restoration of degraded soils, reduction of artificial fertilizers and pesticides, fixation of CO2 and NH3 in the soil, stimulation of plant growth and - health, increasing the resistance of plants to climate change and other abiotic stress factors, as well as increasing yields.
