Description of Invention
In 2024, Malaysia faced a challenge: producing approximately 60,000 metric tons of maize per month resulted in substantial waste—corn leaves, stalks, and husks—often discarded improperly. This wasteful practice not only missed opportunities for reuse but also harmed the environment. Meanwhile, modern agriculture’s heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers raised concerns about cost and long-term soil health. In response, a solution emerged: BioBloom. By transforming corn by-products into mini-sized plant fertilizer cubes, BioBloom offers an eco-friendly alternative. These cubes cater to urban dwellers with limited gardening space, making sustainable practices accessible. Moreover, involving retirees or orphanages in the production process creates meaningful employment while addressing the 1.2 million tonnes of annual agricultural waste generated in Malaysia. BioBloom—a small step toward a greener future.
