InPyro – Transforming Waste into Resources
InPyro – tecnologia limpa

Turning waste into resources for a sustainable future.

Cleantech for soil regeneration, emission reduction, and green energy generation.

About InPyro

InPyro is a scientific and technology-based startup that transforms environmental challenges into sustainable opportunities. We develop low-carbon solutions that utilize waste and drive regenerative agribusiness, integrating science, innovation, and socio-environmental impact.

With roots in Paraíba, we are pioneers in Brazil in technologies for the treatment and sanitization of complex waste, converting it into sustainable bioproducts such as biochar, an organic input that improves soil health and promotes carbon capture.

Brazil holds one of the planet's largest biomass potentials, yet much of this wealth is still wasted. InPyro acts to reverse this scenario by transforming what was once waste into value—clean energy, agricultural fertility, and regional prosperity.

Our purpose is to position the Northeast as a global reference in clean technologies, strengthening the circular economy and the regional innovation ecosystem. We work to build a greener, more productive, and more connected future, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ESG principles, with local impact and global reach.

Mission

To promote regenerative agriculture and a low-carbon circular economy.

Nossos Pilares

InPyro is based on four pillars that guide its actions and continuos innovation, combining science, technology, and sustainability to transform waste into regenerative solutions.

Purpose

To transform waste management and agribusiness, starting from Paraíba, with advanced technology that integrates innovation, environmental responsibility, and social impact — promoting a regenerative, low-carbon production chain connected to the world.

Technology

To integrate clean processes and green solutions based on the circular economy, reverse logistics, and biofuels — driving regenerative agriculture and a sustainable energy matrix with a low carbon impact.

Bioeconomy

InPyro was born in Paraíba as a catalyst for the bioeconomy, developing sustainable solutions that strengthen the regional production matrix, generate local value, and connect the Northeast to the global market.

Sustainability

At InPyro, sustainability is practice: we apply circular economy and reverse logistics principles to transform waste into regenerative agricultural solutions, aligned with a low-carbon economy and the use of clean energy.

Socio-Environmental Impact

At InPyro, we believe that innovation only makes sense when it generates value for people and the planet. Therefore, our solutions are developed with a focus on measurable socio-environmental impact, especially within the context of regenerative agribusiness and the Northeast's bioeconomy.

InPyro operates with clean technologies and green processes to mitigate the negative impacts of improper waste generation and disposal. Our commitment is to transform environmental liabilities into regenerative and sustainable solutions for agribusiness.

  • Waste Reduction: We divert organic waste from landfills, transforming it into biochar—a high-value-added input for the soil. Paraíba thus becomes a pioneer in not landfilling valuable raw materials, instead promoting their conversion into bio-inputs rich in customized macro and micronutrients for agricultural cultivation.
  • Biochar Application to Soil: We promote agricultural regeneration with efficient doses per hectare, adapted to different crops and biomes.
  • Soil Fertility Improvement: Because our biochar promotes improvements in parameters such as pH, CEC, organic matter, and available phosphorus, enabling more vibrant and productive soils.
  • Plant Health: Based on compelling evidence in plant rooting and growth, vigor and productivity are direct reflections of soil quality combined with the efficiency of our biochar.
  • Reduced Chemical Fertilizer Use: Our solutions enable less conventional input-dependent agriculture, resulting in cost savings and lower environmental impact.
  • Carbon Sequestration and Fixation in Soil: We increase the CO₂ equivalent capture potential with the continuous use of biochar, contributing to climate change mitigation.
  • Rural Strengthening: It generates green jobs and local opportunities.

Caatinga Biome Preservation and Regeneration

InPyro promotes sustainable solutions aimed at the preservation and regeneration of the Caatinga Biome, contributing to the maintenance of its biodiversity and the natural resources of the Northeast semi-arid region.

Our technologies assist in the recovery of degraded areas through the production and use of biochar, which improves the soil and stimulates the development of native seedlings for reforestation and drought-adapted crops, strengthening more resilient agricultural systems.

Through the valorization of waste and the rational use of regional biomass, we promote a regenerative agriculture model that protects the soil, retains moisture, reduces erosion, and supports the sustainability of the Caatinga — the only exclusively Brazilian biome.
