What BioMax does

BioMax (legal entity: BIOMAX GREEN PTE. LTD.) is a Singapore-based biotechnology company founded in 2009 that develops and commercialises organic waste management solutions built around its proprietary Rapid Thermophilic Digestion System (RTDS). The core technology uses patented BM1 thermophilic enzymes, operating at 60–80°C, to convert agricultural, livestock, municipal, and food-processing waste into certified organic fertiliser within 24 hours — materially faster than the 90+ days required by traditional composting. BioMax serves two distinct customer bases: enterprise clients (hotels, restaurants, food manufacturers, farms, and municipalities) that purchase on-site digestion systems and consultation services, and individual consumers who buy a retail line of organic fertilisers, potting soils, and bio-insecticides through the company's e-commerce storefront at biomaxgreen.com/shop.

The company's revenue model combines one-time equipment/system sales to enterprise customers, professional services for customised solutions, and unit-priced direct-to-consumer product sales (price points $2.50–$16.00). Its go-to-market blends direct enterprise field sales and government/municipal partnerships with an online D2C channel, supported by content marketing, SEO, and active social media presence. BioMax holds ISO 14001 certification, complies with Singapore NEA regulations, and explicitly aligns its positioning with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals. The company has secured patents on both its BM1 enzymes and the integrated RTDS, and reports installations extending beyond Singapore into Southeast Asia and Australia.

BioMax is privately held with 11–50 employees and has raised $1.58M from Majuven (2013) as its only disclosed institutional funding round. Leadership comprises co-founders Puah Mok and Sim Tong, with Fion Chua serving as Deputy CEO. The firm has no disclosed AI/ML capability, no API or developer platform, and no revenue disclosure; its competitive differentiation rests on bioprocess engineering and regulatory compliance rather than software or data advantages.

Core offering

BioMax sells the Rapid Thermophilic Digestion System (RTDS), an automated enclosed digester paired with patented BM1 thermophilic enzymes that convert agricultural, livestock, municipal and food waste into certified organic fertiliser within 24 hours. The company also sells a retail range of organic fertilisers, potting soils, and bio-insecticides derived from its digestion output through its own e-commerce shop.

Product overview

BioMax offers a unified product-and-technology platform centred on its proprietary Rapid Thermophilic Digestion System (RTDS). The core system comprises two integrated components: the Rapid Thermophilic Digester (an automated enclosed hardware system) and patented BM1 enzymes (thermophilic bacteria operating at 80°C). Together, these convert agricultural, livestock, municipal waste, and biogas sludge into 100% certified organic fertiliser within 24 hours. The product portfolio also includes a retail line of consumer-facing gardening products — fertilisers (liquid and granular forms for orchids, flowering plants, and general use), organic potting soil, and bio-insecticides (Bug Buster, HuntX Roach, Green GroShield) — all positioned as 100% organic and eco-friendly. The RTDS serves B2B clients (hotels, restaurants, food manufacturers, municipalities), while the consumer products target home gardeners in Singapore and Australia.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Tidy Planet: UK-based manufacturer of on-site food and organic waste processing systems (including aerobic and anaerobic digesters) for hospitality, food service and municipal customers. Closely comparable to BioMax's on-site RTDS offering and target verticals.
• Generate Upcycle: Provides on-site organic waste-to-fertiliser processing units for food service, hospitality and institutional customers. Directly comparable business model of compact, on-site digestion systems producing fertilizer, similar to BioMax's RTDS.
• BioHiTech Global: US-listed provider of on-site food waste digestion solutions and data analytics for enterprise waste management. Competes in the same on-site organic waste-to-fertiliser niche as BioMax, targeting food waste generators.
• Big Hanna (Ekogain): Swedish manufacturer of on-site food waste composting/digestion units (Big Hanna) used by schools, hotels, restaurants and municipalities. Closely comparable modular on-site organics-processing hardware targeting similar customer segments.

Emerging players

• Cambrian Innovation: US-based biotech company applying microbiome and bioprocess technology to industrial wastewater and organic waste treatment, with eco-friendly outputs. Comparable in applying proprietary biotechnology to industrial organics processing.
• LanzaTech: Biotech company using proprietary microbial fermentation to convert waste gases and biomass into fuels and chemicals. Comparable as a biotechnology-driven waste-to-value player, though focused on gas fermentation rather than solid organic waste.

Broad incumbents

• Anaergia: Larger publicly-listed provider of anaerobic digestion and organic waste-to-energy infrastructure with global project pipeline. Competes in the broader organics-to-resource space but at larger utility/municipal scale than BioMax.
• Komptech: European-based manufacturer of composting, biomass and organic waste treatment equipment serving municipal and industrial customers. Broader incumbent in organics processing hardware that competes for the same municipal RFPs as BioMax.
• SUEZ (Waste Management): Global waste and water management major with organics recycling, composting and biogas operations. Competes for the same municipal and industrial organic-waste contracts as BioMax, but at vastly larger scale.

Others

• Novozymes (Novonesis): Global leader in industrial enzymes and microbial solutions, including applications in waste treatment and agriculture. Comparable as a supplier/adjacent player in enzyme-based organics processing, though much larger and not a direct on-site equipment competitor.
