Global Agricycle: Pioneering the Circular Bioeconomy
Who We Are
Global Agricycle (officially Công ty Cổ phần Tái chế Nông nghiệp Agricycle) is a Vietnam-based circular bioeconomy leader, transforming agricultural and fishery byproducts into high-value biomaterials, biofuels, and bioactive compounds. Founded on the principle of "Waste-to-Wealth," we bridge the gap between sustainable farming and industrial innovation, serving global markets with eco-conscious solutions.
Our Mission & Vision
- Mission: "To unlock the hidden value in agricultural waste, empowering farmers while reducing environmental degradation."
- Vision: "A world where every farm byproduct becomes a renewable resource, fueling a carbon-neutral future."
Core Technologies & Expertise
1. Advanced Biomass Conversion
- Pyrolysis Systems: Producing biochar (EBC-certified) from rice husks, coconut shells, and coffee grounds.
- Enzymatic Extraction: Isolating marine collagen from fish skin, chitosan from shrimp shells.
- Mechanical Fiber Processing: Crafting banana stem, pineapple leaf, and coir fibers for textiles.
2. Closed-Loop Production
- Zero-Waste Facilities: 98% utilization rate of input materials (e.g., coconut husks → fiber + biochar + biofuels).
- Carbon-Negative Processes: Our biochar systems sequester 3.2 tons of CO₂ per ton of product.
3. R&D Partnerships
Collaborating with:
- Vietnam National University of Agriculture (soil amendment trials)
- European Biochar Industry Consortium (certification standards)
- FAO (smallholder farmer training programs)
Product Portfolio
