ReGen Lab · Cyberport Incubatee
The operating system for regenerative food production: hardware that converts waste into living inputs, and the AI layer that runs the decisions, built on twenty years of proprietary microbial data no one else has.

Why now
A third of all food grown worldwide is never eaten. Most of what is discarded rots in landfill, releasing methane and draining $1 trillion from the global economy every year. Pesticide use has nearly doubled since 1990, with health risks regulators are only now starting to price in. And more than 20 markets have already begun requiring companies to disclose exactly what is happening in their supply chains. The reporting requirements are catching up faster than the solutions are.

2.7M tonnes
of pesticides are sprayed on crops worldwide each year, nearly double 1990 levels. Chronic exposure is linked by WHO to elevated cancer and reproductive risks.

21 markets
have adopted global sustainability disclosure standards, with mandatory supply-chain reporting now phasing in worldwide. Verified data is becoming the baseline for market access.

Regenovate and ReGen OS exist to close exactly this gap: verified, farm-level data partners can count as real Scope 3 reductions, not just another offset to buy.
Platform
Two parts of one loop: hardware that is running today, and the operating layer being built on top of it.
Proprietary hardware that converts pre-consumed food waste into two bio-agents through controlled vessel fermentation, on the site that produced the waste. Aerobic process: no methane, no odour. Outputs feed straight into the next cycle, closing the loop on site.
An agentic platform being built to reason across the hardware, the growing ground and the water, deciding what happens next and carrying that reasoning from one cycle to the next. A deterministic compliance rule sits above the AI and can override it outright, protecting the zero-chemical guarantee in software.
Grounded in twenty years of measured operating data, not a black box.

Land
Rotated site-wide; availability shifts by season and crop.
Pre-sorted, pre-consumed food waste becomes two bio-agents through on-site fermentation. The biofertilizer supplies plant nutrients and improves their uptake through microbial activity, with zero synthetic input. The biostimulant primes the plant's own induced systemic resistance, enriching beneficial bacteria rather than applying a fungicide.

Water
Three commercial species today. A fourth in development.
The same biostimulant, delivered as a fermented fruit-waste aquafeed additive, boosts growth and antioxidant status. In a six-month Lingnan University feeding trial on gilthead seabream (the species now in development), weight gain was +20.3% by week ten, with the antioxidant enzyme GR up 96.4% and the oxidative-damage marker MDA down 83.4%.

Mechanism
Waste in, food out, nothing left as residue. The same loop runs both verticals.
Convert. Verify. Apply. Repeat.
Pre-sorted, pre-consumed food waste enters on the site that produced it.
Controlled vessel fermentation. Aerobic: no methane, no odour.
Biofertilizer and biostimulant, both prebiotic, not probiotic.
Soil biology on the farm side, aquafeed additive on the aquaculture side.
Zero-chemical crops and aquaculture species, verified by three independent bodies.
Outputs feed the next cycle. Nothing leaves as waste.
Evidence
Three independent labs and field trials, no overlap in what they measure, plus the operational record behind them: the complete evidence stack, reported exactly as measured.
SGS Hong Kong Ltd
Zero detections across three independent panels: a 488-item pesticide scan in 2024, then two 502-item scans plus a 7-heavy-metal panel in 2025. AOAC 2007.01, GC/MS/MS + LC/MS/MS.
Lingnan University Science Unit
A 30-day crop field trial and a six-month aquaculture feeding trial. Two separate projects, different species, different timelines, different metrics. They are two results, not one.
RESET Carbon
Product carbon footprint, cradle to restaurant, on two products over one harvest cycle, against conventional equivalents. 27 tonnes of food waste diverted and 18,675 kgCO₂e avoided in the cycle.
Hung Yat Farm and the Maxim's Group WeGen Farming Initiative
Pre-consumed food waste collected from Maxim's Group kitchens and converted into eco-enzyme inputs on site at Hung Yat Farm, cumulative since the partnership began. WeGen is Maxim's Group's own initiative; Hung Yat Farm is a contributor to it.
Two separate Lingnan University projects. Different species, different timelines, different metrics. They are not one result and must not be read as one.
In the field
Hung Yat Farm has run this land for two decades, restoring a contaminated former pig-skin factory site into the operation running today. It is ReGen Lab's flagship project: the place the systems were proven, and the source of the operating record the platform is built on. It is not the boundary of who we build for. The platform is designed to run on any operator's land and water.
The Maxim's Group WeGen Farming Initiative: two years as a trial before formal launch, now supplying ~70 restaurants.
Pre-consumed food waste processed cumulatively through the partnership, as of Nov 2025.
Of continuous microbial operating record on one site, from contaminated industrial land to the operation running today.

Roadmap
Regenovate runs today. ReGen OS, the AI layer that reasons across it, is being built in three stages.
The compliance-and-memory architecture, built to reason over a known site's real operating data rather than a mocked scenario.
Batch-level traceability from input to output, and a modular architecture (a harness, a reasoning model, and discrete skills) so a partner can plug into sensing, carbon data, or traceability without adopting the whole stack.
Regeneration-as-a-service for other farms running the same biological process on their own land, gated to real demand rather than a rushed rollout.
Actively seeking more co-development and supply partners in sensing and automation, the next layer as we scale the platform.
About
ReGen Lab Limited is an independent technology company in Hong Kong, incubated at Cyberport. It builds and owns the machines and the operating layer: Regenovate hardware, ReGen OS software, and the knowledge vault built from twenty years of operating data at Hung Yat Farm, the flagship project where the platform was proven. Partner operators will run the same platform on their own land and water.
Why full conversion
Chemical agriculture degrades soil, water and biodiversity faster than nature can rebuild them. Regenerative practice alone does not hold without a real biological loop feeding it. Most regenerative farms run on compost, and compost loses most of its value to CO₂ and methane on the way back to the soil. Regenovate is a full-conversion loop: the waste is not reduced, it is transformed into inputs the next cycle runs on.
