EcoGrow Pellets: Recycled Clay Pellets Enriched with Natural Calcium

Abstract

Eco Grow Pellets are high-porosity plant-growing clay pellets made from ceramic industrial sediment, blended with ground chicken bone to enhance calcium and essential minerals, promoting strong and healthy plant growth. They are suitable for all types of plants, especially those requiring well-aerated soil with good water drainage. Eco Grow Pellets are an innovative clay-based growing medium designed to optimize plant cultivation efficiency. Their high porosity structure allows for excellent air and water circulation, reducing soil compaction and waterlogging—common causes of root rot and stunted growth. Additionally, the pellets are enriched with calcium and essential minerals from ground chicken bones, reinforcing plant structure and enhancing root strength, enabling better nutrient absorption. This product is made from 100% recycled ceramic industrial sediment, aligning with the principles of Zero Waste and the BCG Economy Model. It helps minimize industrial waste while transforming discarded materials into high-value, eco-friendly growing media. Eco Grow Pellets are ideal for vegetables, flowers, and potted plants, offering ease of use, cleanliness, and safety. They contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving both crop productivity and environmental health.

Objective

ผลิตภัณฑ์ “Eco Grow Pellet” เป็นเม็ดดินเผาน้ำหนักเบา ซึ่งผลิตจากวัสดุเหลือทิ้งในอุตสาหกรรมเซรามิกส์ และพัฒนาเพื่อเพิ่มมูลค่าสูงสุดให้กับวัสดุเหลือใช้ โดยสอดคล้องกับแนวคิด Zero Waste และหลักการของ BCG Economy Model ที่เน้นการใช้ทรัพยากรให้คุ้มค่าในทุกช่วงของวงจรชีวิต นอกจากนี้ โครงการยังเพิ่มปุ๋ยจากกระดูกไก่ ซึ่งเป็นแหล่งแคลเซียมและฟอสฟอรัสที่สำคัญ เพื่อเสริมคุณค่าทางอาหารสำหรับพืช และช่วยลดการพึ่งพาปุ๋ยเคมี โดยเน้นกระบวนการผลิตที่ยั่งยืนและเป็นมิตรต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม

Blood Cell Classification

This project has been developed to address medical challenges related to the process of counting and classifying blood cells from samples, a task that requires both time and high precision. To reduce the workload of medical personnel, the developers have created a platform and an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of automatically classifying and counting cells from sample images. This system is designed to assist medical laboratory technicians by enabling them to work more efficiently and accurately, reducing the time required for analysis. Furthermore, it promotes the advancement of medical technology, ensuring effective usability from classrooms and laboratories to hospitals.
