BIOCRAB

Biocrab wants to help build a world where all waste shall be recycled in a safe and natural way.

Men used good bacteria since thousands of years ago even to produce healthy food like some types of breads, cheese, yogurt, wine, sour beer and much more. Arcadia selects and uses bacteria that are friendly to humans and the environment, to transform waste into useful products for everyone.

As the carbon clock is ticking and cement is one of the main responsible for anthropomorphic greenhouse gases, Arcadia produces natural bioconcrete and biomaterials, saving up to 80% of CO2 compared to traditional concrete.

Our future is our responsibility: let’s build it together!

The startups selected by Lotus move toward this direction and respect these criteria.

Today’s world as we commonly know it is exhausted and has an extreme need for innovation, new sources of energy, to optimize planetary resources, to bring well-being to peoples without this ruining or destroying the surrounding environment, that is, following both meanings of the word:

well (not com. Well ness) s. m. – 1. Happy state of health, physical and moral strength 2. Prosperous condition of luck, comfort

Today we refer only to the second definition, many times with only the meaning of “economic prosperity” and too many times at the expense of the first, which is the First with reason.
Lotus aims to bring to light, clear and obvious, the true meaning of well-being through astounding technological advances.

There’s not yet a reliable way to evaluate the impact that a startup, there isn’t any real metric and so nowadays most of the venture capitals measure startups only with financial metric.

We believe something should change, starting from the institutions.

And, by selecting and assisting the Teams in countries with low Tech Input, Lotus is already working in the direction of the SDG’s, especially for number 10, to Reduce inequality.

We examine startups in depth according to ESG criteria to assess their position compared to their peers. Our ESG philosophy is based on the belief that rigorous application of ESG analysis can improve risk-adjusted returns, and the company’s commitment is an integral part of successful investments. An improvement in ESG profiles should result in a lower cost of capital. In our view, companies pursuing a marked improvement in their ESG profile. Conversely, if a firm presents high ESG risks and does not actively seek to mitigate them and improve its ESG profile, it is very likely that its value will be affected. The identification and measurement of the risks and opportunities associated with ESG factors have the advantage of simultaneously supporting the environmental and social benefits.

Because our people are our most precious asset, occupational safety and health are our first consideration at all times. We apply strict health and safety procedures to all aspects of our operations, from everyday office activities to highly complex offshore technical drilling activity.

As a global citizen, protecting and maintaining the environment is paramount at all of our operations and we are constantly seeking ways to minimize the environmental impact of our activities, reduce waste, conserve resources and respect biodiversity. We will achieve this through operational reliability, as well as continued investment in research to develop incremental and breakthrough technologies that reduce our footprint on environment.

We have a plan to replace plastic with Arcadia using wood or sand / soil wastes.
For example: one can begin to replace waste bins in public parks, fiberglass boat structures, and so on.
We can also create complex mold-made sculptures that can be created by artists and designers and made with Arcadia.
Arcadia is a process that, exploiting bacteria Arcadia’s Patent is in process; the Patent is owned 100% by Xegate S.A.
Arcadia is a product that, if sprayed over a land or sand, fossilizes the ground in a few months.
It exploits the same system as fossils but, instead of taking millions of years, in just two or three months the process is completed and the sand or terrain is hardened.
We can obtain different types of hardness, from sand to marble.
It can be used to prevent and stop desertification; in fact Companies in the Countries of Switzerland, Italy, Qatar, Algeria, Morocco, China already expressed their interest in a co-operation for their deserts.
Arcadia can also prevent terrain to slope in case of floods..

Respect is one of Lotus’s values and guides how we interact with all those who meet our operations.

We are committed to identifying and addressing human rights risks and impacts directly linked with our business activities, including the rights of our workforce and those living in communities affected by our activities.

Our current focus areas include the recruitment, working and living conditions of contracted workforces at our sites, responsible security, community grievance mechanisms and channels for workforces to raise their concerns.

We encourage employees, contractors, communities and other third parties to speak up if they see something they think could be unsafe or unethical. At our worksites we help make sure people are aware of our confidential global helpline Open Talk, our community complaints systems and workforce grievance mechanisms.
