• Discussions commenced with Indonesia's National Economic Council regarding deployment of bioremediaton solutions
• Targeting rehabilitation of coastal and waterway ecosystems affected by mining and industrial pollution

BPH Global Ltd (ASX: BP8) has commenced discussions with the National Economic Council of Indonesia (Dewan Ekonomi Nasional) regarding the potential establishment of seaweed-based bioremediation projects to rehabilitate Indonesian coastlines and waterways affected by mining operations. The company aims to leverage its expertise in cultivating high-biomass, pollutant-absorbing seaweed and coastal plant species, such as Sesuvium portulacastrum and Gracilaria, to provide sustainable environmental restoration services. This approach not only supports ecosystem rehabilitation but also creates potential value from the harvested biomass through the recovery of strategic minerals for applications in traditional medicine and pharmaceuticals. BPH Global is targeting bioremediation opportunities within the mining sector, specifically the nickel and coal industries, where the environmental impact of operations presents a pressing need for remediation solutions. The company has undertaken preliminary due diligence on selected nickel and coal operations in Indonesia, including a recent site visit to a nickel mine and refinery, marking an important step toward developing tailored remediation partnerships aligned with industry needs and national environmental priorities. Engagement with the National Economic Council and other government bodies is essential to secure the necessary approvals and licenses to legally operate and implement commercial bioremediation projects in the regulated coastal and inland waterway environments.

BPH Global is optimistic about the potential to deploy its bioremediation technologies in partnership with Indonesian authorities to address environmental damage caused by mining activity. The company's seaweed-based solutions offer a sustainable, scalable approach to rehabilitating coastal and waterway ecosystems, aligning with its environmental mission and commitment to improved health outcomes.
