What BioSolvit does

BioSolvit is a Brazilian environmental biotechnology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Barra Mansa, Rio de Janeiro. The company develops bioremediation and circular-economy solutions that transform waste streams — including PET bottles and discarded plant fibers — into environmental remediation products. It operates through five product lines: BioBlue Response (oil absorption and spill remediation, anchored by the Ecofast oil absorbent with a claimed 95% oil reuse rate and 2x faster absorption than competitors); Bio MPF (water filtration systems for residential, commercial, and industrial use, including diesel fuel filtration); Bio Water Care branded as Augen (Sanitation 4.0 digital water and effluent treatment, with stated capacity of 90M liters of industrial effluents and 1.5B liters of sewage per month); Bio Dust Control (a chemically recycled PET-based dust suppressant co-developed with Vale and UFES); and Bio Home Garden (plant fiber planters and substrates). The company also runs Biocollab, a collaborative research and innovation platform connecting external researchers to bio-residue projects with funding and go-to-market support.

The company sells primarily through a sales-led B2B model targeting enterprise and government clients in oil and gas, mining, sanitation, energy, steel manufacturing, and residential segments. Distribution is direct via five specialized regional offices across Brazil and international subsidiaries in the USA (BIOFINK LLC, Spring, Texas), Portugal (Cantanhede Technology Park), and China (Macao), with a claimed footprint in 35+ countries. Revenue streams include one-time product licenses for bioremediation and consumer gardening products and recurring subscription-style water treatment and monitoring services. Disclosed enterprise customers include Petrobras, AngloAmerican, Arcelor, CSN, CEMIG, COPEL, CPFL Energia, COPASA, and SABESP, alongside government clients DMAE and COMUSA. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and has accumulated 25+ international innovation and sustainability awards, including Unicorn Battle, South Summit Sustainability, Plug and Play Accelerator, and Endeavor Scale-Up.

The company is privately held (legal name Biosolvit Soluções em Biotecnologia S.A.), with two undisclosed early-stage funding rounds in 2016 and 2018 from BMG UpTech, Bossa Invest, and Loyall Capital Partners, and an acquisition of Augen in October 2024. Leadership is led by CEO Guilhermo Queiroz with a CRO, CFO, and seven functional directors. No public revenue figures are disclosed, and current scale signals — 11-50 employees, monthly throughput claims of 160K liters of oil absorbed, 270M liters of potable water produced, and 90M liters of industrial effluents treated — suggest an early-stage industrial company with growing international ambitions but limited financial transparency.

Core offering

BioSolvit develops and sells environmental biotechnology products and services that transform waste residues (PET bottles, vegetable fibers) into bioremediation, water treatment, and dust control solutions. Its portfolio includes oil absorbents (Ecofast) for spill response, industrial water filtration systems, digital effluent treatment (Sanitation 4.0/Augen), PET-based dust suppressants, and sustainable gardening substrates, sold primarily to industrial and municipal enterprise clients across 35+ countries.

Product overview

BioSolvit operates as a multi-product sustainability-focused company with five distinct solution lines: BioBlue Response provides oil absorption and environmental remediation products (Ecofast absorbents, containment barriers, emergency kits); Bio MPF delivers water filtration systems for residential and industrial use (housings, cartridge filters, diesel filters); Bio Water Care (Augen) offers industrial effluent treatment and sanitation monitoring systems (PRO/MULTI/LIGHT analyzers); Bio Dust Control produces PET-based dust suppressants for industrial operations; and Bio Home Garden (Biogreen) creates plant fiber-based gardening products. The portfolio is unified by a circular economy mission, transforming waste residues (PET bottles, plant fibers) into practical environmental solutions. An innovation platform called Biocollab supports R&D collaboration with researchers.
