UAG Bio Nutrients is an innovative company trading from the Northern Rivers Region, NSW. Our focus is in turning organic waste products into tangible value.
Using a proprietary combination of anaerobic digestion and vermiculture, we produce clean green energy, organic carbon humus rich fertiliser, and tCO2e eligible for ACCUs.
UAG aims for a circular economy with triple bottom line outcomes that focus on sustainable energy production, healthy soils, and supporting local communities. Firm commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals is central to UAG Bio Nutrients philosophy.
A ‘Circular Economy’ is based on three principles: design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use; and regenerate naturally. UAG’s process delivers on each principle, targeting the reinvigoration of regional communities.
UAG’s rigorous execution and risk management includes independent verification of energy, waste, water and carbon flows. Our team brings together experienced industry, technical and commercial management members, and we are seeking motivated science and engineering individuals to embrace our philosophy and join us in creating the change needed for a cleaner greener world.
We look forward to hearing from you.
