At Harvest Nano, We See Waste as a Resource Rather Than a Burden.

Sustainability?
Welcome to the Real Thing.

Human-generated waste (and wastewater, especially) represents one of the toughest environmental challenges facing our planet. Every minute, a huge amount of liquid and solid waste pollutes our planet.

Every day, billions of dollars are spent treating waste, in unsustainable ways. Millions of tons of valuable resources are being badly treated and hardly recycled.

Not anymore. Harvest Nano is leading and accelerating the waste mining revolution. Harvest Nano developed one-of-a-kind, specially-designed technology and machinery to use bio-waste as a resource for mass micro and nanocellulose production.

Founder and CEO

Dr. Refael Aharon

Dr. Aharon is an inventor, entrepreneur, and scientist with over 20 years’ experience in building complicated machines, executing ground-breaking ideas, and establishing proprietary intellectual property for waste mining and nanocellulose extraction. Dr. Aharon is also an implementation expert: putting novel waste management ideas into action.

He is widely known to be one of the world pioneers and experts at extracting high value materials from organic waste, and for finding economic solutions for problematic waste resources.

His experience and expertise cover wastewater, agriculture, textile and paper waste mining – managing expert teams of engineers, operators and scientists.

Reinventing Waste Mining Solutions for a Better World

Harvest Nano, Inc., develops and license proprietary technologies, builds equipment, and develops processes for converting organic human waste into micro and nanocellulose compositions. We do so to meet a growing demand for cost-effective nano composite and bioplastic alternatives – but more importantly, to make waste management more sustainable in support of a circular economy.
Based in Michigan, USA, Harvest Nano is creating a new reality for waste management operators and owners while delivering futuristic, valuable technology that produces better materials for compounders and products manufacturers.

Our natural, safe, and valuable micro and nanocellulose compositions output advances industry and innovation while tackling the waste problem and regulator demands. From developing and operating wastewater recycling systems, to pioneering textile recycling initiatives and producing consumer end products, our history reflects our dedication to building a real circular economy.
Harvest Nano is pioneering novel waste mining practices and intends to provide the technology platform, the tools, and to transform current nanocellulose and plastics production methods. The Harvest Nano team, led by Dr. Refael Aharon, consists of engineers, scientists, polymer experts, wastewater experts, IP, and legal professionals.

Our Solution: Waste Mining

Waste mining is the production of high-value materials from pre- and post-consumer waste. Using our novel technology, waste recyclers benefit from a revenue-generating process for disposing of human-generated waste: the production of micro and nanocellulose benefits end product manufacturers, and humanity benefits from a healthier planet.

Users of the nanocellulose product benefit from the ability to use advanced “green” materials produced from waste.

Harvest Nano’s turnkey solution transforms human liquid and solid bio-waste into high-value micro and nanocellulose compositions that can be used in a wide range of consumer products.

It creates a real impact: our process supports compliance with environmental regulations

Benefits of Harvest Nano’s Revolutionary Approach

Our systems transform human bio-waste solids into high-value cellulose, micro, and nanocellulose compositions that yield critical financial and environmental benefits:

Allow new waste streams circularity.

Allows major long-term savings in operational costs of waste management.

Enables the sale of recycled cellulose and nanocellulose as a new, recycled and valuable raw material that’s well-suited to many industries.

Reduces GHG using Harvest Nano technology.

Supports PFAS removal as a by-product of our waste mining activity.

Enables ERP regulation compliance.

Our solution is synergetic with existing waste treatment and products manufacturing methods, with flexible design and plug-and-play components.

Harvest Nano maintains a diverse portfolio of intellectual property, including trademarks, designs, trade secrets, protocols and know-how.
