University of Torino and Acea patended/developed a process yielding soluble biopolymers (BPs) from municipal biowaste anaerobic digestates and composts. BPs are new products, not yet known in the market. They are water soluble mixes of macromolecules bonded to mineral elements, useable as agrochemicals, surfactants and biopolymers for manufacturing materials. They are produced by chemical hydrolysis of fermented MBW. In agriculture, 20-430 % higher crop production by 50-150 kg/ha applied BPs dose, compared to the sourcing compost, and to market fertilizers, biostimulants and anti-pathogen agents, have been proven for 11 different plants. BPs fall in the category of fertilizers by Italian legislation. BPs’ registration with Italian Ministry of Agriculture is feasible. BPs’ efficacy and safety for use in agriculture, and in rabbits and pigs diet, has been proven.
