Unsustainable Choices
Growing mediums supplied to the global CEA industry are primarily these three products: Peat Moss, Coco Coir, Rockwool; accounting for over >80%+ market share.
Peat Moss
70% Market Share
Organic, naturally occurring, mined from peat bogs and wetlands.
Peat lands are the world’s largest natural terrestrial carbon sink and when mined, account for approximately 5% of global GHG emissions.
Peat Moss is typically single use in CEA Cultivation.
Coco Coir
9% Market Share
Derived and manufactured from crushed coconut fibers.
During manufacturing, large amounts of water is used as part of the hydration process. The water becomes highly contaminated, mostly with salt, and is difficult to treat and recycle.
Coco Coir is typically single use in CEA Cultivation.
Stonewool
4% Market Share
Classified as sterile and manufactured from basalt rock.
Basalt rock is heated to extreme temperatures and spun to create the fibrous material. This process uses vast amounts of energy.
Stonewool is typically single use in CEA Cultivation.
Cut operating expenses, maximize performance and reduce cultivation risk…
…guaranteed.
