Sustainability & Impact

Transforming waste into value through circular innovation.

Our Circular Model

Aquabiotics Sur operates at the intersection of the marine industry and biotechnology, creating a closed-loop system where waste from one process becomes the raw material for another. This approach not only generates economic value but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the mussel processing industry.

Environmental Impact

  • • Waste Reduction: Directly reduces the volume of organic-rich liquid waste discharged into the ecosystem.
  • • Pollution Prevention: Lowers the biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of effluents.
  • • Resource Efficiency: Maximizes the utility of harvested marine resources without needing additional extraction.

Social & Economic Value

  • • Territorial Development: Adds value to the local economy in southern Chile (Los Lagos Region).
  • • Innovation Ecosystem: Fosters collaboration between artisanal/industrial fisheries and the high-tech biotech sector.
  • • New Revenue Streams: Turns a cost center (waste disposal) into a profit center for the industry.
