We examine agricultural, marine and food resources and review how fermentation and processing can turn them into protein and functional materials. Our circularity work considers both raw-material supply and product applications.
Using underused resources as materials requires a review of feedstock supply, processing methods and actual applications. SIGNALCARE works with feedstock suppliers, manufacturers and brands to discuss material properties, required specifications and supply conditions.
We review particle size, moisture and supply conditions to assess suitable uses for agricultural and food by-products.
We review powder and pellet forms and specifications for the intended use through fermentation, processing and formulation design.
Review origin, characteristics, supply conditions and intended use.
We review fermentation and processing methods for the feedstock properties and intended use.
Review customer specifications and product applications.
Align resource supply, manufacturing and delivery requirements.
ESG
SIGNALCARE tackles environmental pollution and food challenges together. By recovering discarded resources and developing technology to reduce carbon emissions, we aim to protect land, water and air so people and animals can thrive together.
We work with local governments and regional partners to identify reusable organic resources in agricultural residues. Fermentation and processing can give them new uses, reduce waste and support more sustainable food and feed production.
We explore ways to turn suitable residues from feed production into fertilizer or soil amendments. We aim to develop technology that minimizes carbon emissions from production and helps protect the environment.
We regularly donate to organizations that protect abandoned animals. We will continue to share the value we create with local communities and support animals in need and the people who care for them.
Beyond Materials
We are pursuing feed research using fermented materials and reviewing solar and local-energy collaboration, along with plans for an insect smart farm and experience centre. Research and demonstration stages and local participation conditions inform the development of these plans.
Researching feed applications and methane-reduction potential for fermented materials.
We research ways to use fermented materials in feed formulations to reduce environmental burdens in resource use and livestock farming. We are pursuing application-specific demonstration work and data collection to assess feed suitability and methane-reduction potential.
Exploring local-energy collaboration with resident participation.
We are reviewing ways to link local resource-circularity projects with solar energy. Community-participation models, including Korea’s Sunshine Income Village initiative, inform our assessment of business structures involving farms, residents and local communities.
Planning insect production, research and an ecology experience space.
We are reviewing an insect smart farm that uses rearing-environment controls and data. The plan would link insect-resource production with fermentation-materials research and include an experience centre for learning about ecology and resource circularity.
Please share the feedstock origin and properties, available volume and supply cycle, storage and transport conditions, and intended application. This information helps us discuss material-development potential, the fermentation and processing steps needed, and the scope of product application review.
The review changes with properties such as moisture and physical form, and with the target specification. Supply conditions and desired material characteristics are considered together; results for one feedstock are not simply transferred to another.
We review feedstock supply conditions alongside the material specifications and forms required by the manufacturer. After reviewing fermentation and processing feasibility and the intended application, we discuss volume, packaging, logistics and other supply terms.
We first define the project’s feedstock inputs, processes, product applications and comparison basis together. Once the necessary evaluation data is available, we discuss how to assess resource circularity and carbon-reduction effects in concrete terms.
Share quality variability, availability and frequency, storage and logistics conditions, and expected volumes. Review these against the application's required specifications to discuss a supply structure and relevant control points.
