About us

A Patent Pending Solution for Organic Waste Fermentation

"From Food to Food" – We're revolutionizing the way the world handles organic waste. Based in Finland, our mission is to close the nutrient loop by turning biodegradable waste into life-giving soil and liquid fertilizers using a natural fermentation process.

What it's all about

Our Purpose

To contribute to a circular economy that reduces dependence on fossil and virgin materials while promoting soil regeneration and sustainable agriculture. We feel like industrial scale organic waste fermentation is the missing link in truly circular waste management.

Our Method

  • 100% organic fermentation process
  • No waste or by-products
  • Low energy input
  • Pathogen and pesticide neutralization
  • Premium quality fertilization products as a result

Our Vision

To be a global leader in organic waste transformation — enabling food security, healthy soil, and a climate-positive agricultural future.

Mrs Christina Kumenius-Liljerot

The "mother" of the whole idea -  behind the idea was the promise to the future generations and my children: "We should always leave this planet a slightly better world than we received from our parents."

Mr Kenneth Kumenius-Liljerot


M.Sc. Long experience in project planning, running and coordination, environmental planning and management, solutions in habitat fragmentation on nature due to infrastructure, environmental impact assessment (EIA), conservation biology, protected areas planning, network planning, environmental information services and education.

Mr Jone Nikula

Mr Nikula has, over the past 3 + decades worked in various positions in Finnish media. TV, magazines and most of all commercial radio are the platforms from which he has gained his experience and livelihood. As a man who has never participated in a demonstration but has always wanted to take part in a revolution, Jone finds OW-F the perfect cause to fight for.

"As far as I can see, and all the data gathered so far point to that too, Chrisses' invention has the power to turn the world towards a better future already in our lifetime. So yes, I'm honored to be on board and can't wait to see us succeed for the good of the Globe."

Mr Kristoffer Bondestam

M.Sc. in Biology, Botany as major. Pedagogical Qualification, works as a school teacher in biology, geography and health sciences. Lives in Southern Finland.

Mr Juha Rämö

I am a trained translator. In addition to translation work, I have 20 years of experience working on national and international environmental education projects for the Finnish Foundation for Environmental Education. I believe that being a board member of OW-Ferment Ltd is a natural continuation of this work.
