1 we must replace what we take from the earth Biological alternatives for: Controlling Odour Managing Organic Residues Supporting Agriculture Industrial and Domestic Cleaning

2 Company Profile VRM Biologik is a leading provider of high quality microbial formulations used in organic recycling, advanced soil and water remediation, agricultural support programs and industrial and domestic cleaning. Our objective is to provide safe and sustainable products that improve commercial and domestic operations, without harming our environment. We do this by harnessing the power of naturally occurring microbes as a sustainable replacement for harsher chemical inputs. Key technological advances include: Industrial level deployment of bacterial photosynthesis as a natural remedy for hydrogen sulphide production in odour control programs. Development of long shelf life for live microbial formulations enabling safe storage, transport and large-scale application. Biological temperature and fire risk management in large scale organics processing. Culture and deployment of biological Carbon, Phosphorus, Potassium and Nitrogen fixation capacity in soil remediation and large-scale agriculture. Culture and deployment of biological hydrosynthesis enabling the biological manufacture and maintenance of water in depleted soils. VRM offers safe and powerful biological solutions for some of the most difficult global issues including: Soil remediation and improved soil health Large-scale odour control issues Management of large volume organic residues Biological disease management in intensive animal husbandry and horticulture VRM s products and programs support natural biological reactions. These powerful reactions provide safe and sustainable solutions for odour, soil and water recovery, conversion of organic residues and management of disease agents. VRM offers you tools and mechanisms that bring safe, natural, and biological remedies into your existing management systems.

3 Mission Food is our fuel Safe food sustainably grown is our first priority. Food for all Our work is not about consuming what fuels the world, it s about the food that fuels us all. That fuel, is not an extractable resource. We must replace what we take from the Earth. Vision We envisage a world where; Our food does not harm us. People know and love those who grow their food. Confident farmers are the foundation of our global community. Everything we grow is useful. 2 3

4 R3vive Odour and Waste Management Programs R3vive Odour and Waste Management programs foster sustainable bio-processes which help to self-manage the generation and release of odour and other negative by-products. With regular use these programs foster bacterial photosynthesis to digest odour substances at their source and energise biosystems at the micro-sites upon which all management systems depend. This approach helps stabilise biological processing in all types of collected organic residues. Consistent use of these products help control the production and release of hydrogen sulphide and other undesirable by-products. Municipal Landfill Operators Intensive Farming Food Processing Operations Waste & Waste Water Operations Large scale odour issues arise primarily from biological imbalances. We offer strategic biological solutions. Bio-Seed Bio-Starter Bio-Fort IVC Accelerator A IVC Accelerator B 4 5

5 Bio-Regen Programs The Bio-Regen process captures putrescent organic material including unused food. This material is used to manufacture a liquid formulation containing key biological elements critical for soil health and disease management. The by products of the Bio-Regen process therefore become ingredients in products used in agriculture and horticulture. Outputs from the Bio-Regen process are liquid or contain very high moisture content. VRM s unique product inputs to the Bio-Regen process are critical in establishing and incubating the biological reactions that perform the safe and consistent conversion of all input materials. Schools / Food Services Plantation Owners Intensive Horticulture Facilities Simple, safe, affordable management of unused food, through a revolutionary bio-process.

6 Continuous Fermentation Programs The Groundswell Continuous Fermentation process transforms a wide range of organic materials into a powdered formulation containing key biological elements critical for soil health and disease management. The by-products of the Groundswell process typically contain humus and a range of beneficial soil cultures which become ingredients in products used in agriculture and horticulture. VRM s unique product inputs ensure that Groundswell programs establish and incubate biological reactions for the safe and consistent conversion of undesirable organic materials into beneficial soil elements.

7 Prot3ct Bio-Management Programs The VRM Prot3ct Bio-Management Program was developed as a comprehensive biological program to manage hazardous organic residues on farms supporting intensive animal and plant populations. This enables consistent management and reuse, where applicable, of organic by-products including manures, crop residues, mortalities, and spoilt or unused feed. The Prot3ct program significantly reduces crosscontamination risk arising from the movement of raw organic residues on and off sites. The program is implemented in three stages, including: Early intervention Bio-Management; Bio-Regen Thermophillic Conversion of concentrated and hazardous organic material; and Groundswell continuous fermentation of all organic residues. Plantation Owners Municipal Governments Bulk Food Processing Entities Intensive Animal Husbandry Operations Manage bio-hazards and biological materials safely and consistently without harsh chemical inputs.

8 Ren3w Bio-Cleaning Programs Nature cleans itself best. We provide solutions that mimic natural cleaning systems to offer a poison-free path to safer cleaning. VRM bio-cleaners are nonpoisonous acid based cleaning solutions that combine essential oils with probiotic elements including Lactobacillus, cleaning effectively without leaving soapy residues. VRM bio-cleaners have significantly reduced re-contamination rates of harmful pathogens and bacteria with consistent cleaner use. The unique combination of ingredients allows for digestion of fats, greases, oils, sugars and similar substances. All VRM bio-cleaners significantly reduce odour through control of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide along with other common odour species.
