Closing the Phosphorus Loop

PHOSLOOP recovers phosphorus from underused resources

and returns it to productive use.

For Future Generations

PHOSLOOP builds phosphorus recovery systems that return livestock-derived phosphorus to society.

We aim to reduce one-way dependence on imports and mining, and create a society that circulates phosphorus through its own resources.

Food → Manure → Soil→ Crops

By restoring the natural cycle between people and nature, we help pass on the foundations of sustainable food and industry.

WHY PHOSPHORUS MATTERS

Phosphorus, known by the chemical symbol P, is essential for crop growth, food production, and life.

Yet phosphorus is a finite mineral resource, unevenly distributed around the world and exposed to growing supply risks.

Japan depends heavily on imported phosphorus resources, making domestic circulation increasingly important.

PHOSLOOP recovers phosphorus from livestock-derived resources and turns it into usable resources for agriculture and industry.

PRODUCTS
MEG-LOOP

PHOSLOOP produces MEG-LOOP, a Japan-made circular biochar fertilizer made from underutilized pig manure compost.

It contains phosphorus and potassium and is designed to be easy to handle for vegetables, root crops, and flowers.

Effects may vary depending on crop, soil, application rate, and growing conditions.

Phosphorus Extraction & Recovery

We develop cost-effective technologies to extract and recover phosphorus from livestock-derived resources.

Biochar Kiln Development

We develop compact, easy-to-operate biochar kilns that farmers can use on site.

Based on feedback from the field, we aim to design systems that are safe, practical, and easy to maintain.

Fertilizer Matching

We connect farms with surplus compost to growers who can put it to productive use.

Soil Assessment

We assess soil conditions and help farmers plan soil preparation and fertilization for the crops they want to grow.

Technical Consulting

Turning phosphorus expertise into practical solutions.

Our consulting is led by a Ph.D. researcher with over 10 years of R&D experience in phosphorus.

We help clients understand technical issues, organize key information, and identify practical next steps.

Digital Support for DeepTech Projects

Bringing DeepTech into society requires more than research alone.

PHOSLOOP supports the digital operations behind DeepTech projects, including project websites, research communication, and ongoing content updates.

Drawing on hands-on experience in the DeepTech field, we help teams communicate their work clearly and keep their projects moving forward.

Protecting soil nutrition means protecting the future of our families and communities.
PHOSLOOP bridges farmers’ knowledge and technology to support Japanese agriculture through phosphorus circulation.
