Engineering sustainable growing media solutions from responsibly managed forestry resources.
Sustainable growing media components drive adoption when they outperform incumbents at a lower cost. We engineered BioVermiculite™ so that choosing the sustainable option is also the best agronomic and economic decision.
Unlike conventional vermiculite extracted through open-pit mining, BioVermiculite™ is produced from upcycled forestry residues using advanced pyrolysis technology at 900°C+.
Every claim is backed by independent laboratory analysis. Our product delivers 1.4× water-holding capacity, 74% more free air space, and 11× more available potassium than mined vermiculite.
Our production process permanently sequesters carbon in a graphitic structure that resists degradation for centuries. Net impact: –2.50 tCO₂e per short ton.
Pine forestry residues collected from responsibly managed forests. No virgin timber harvested.
Feedstock heated to 900°C+ in an oxygen-free environment, vaporizing hemicellulose and cellulose.
The pine pore structure transforms into graphitic carbon that resists degradation for centuries.
