FiberGlob - Is an organic peat replacement in horticultural substrate formulation for healthy food production made from an industrial pulpwood waste-stream. Will help growers produce quality plants using less peat while decreasing environmental footprint of their activity, and simultaneously, promoting waste-flow recirculation within Agrifood value chain.
Problem: Growers are running out of peat; Peat is extracted from northern Europe = not local available = higher distribution cost; Peat is a non-renewable raw-material; Peat bogs are Carbon sinks and its extractions are associated with environmental issues (increased in GHG emission & Climate change); Paris agreement stablished that peat extraction will stop by 2050; new licensing is prohibit; There is a urgent need to replace peat using a local by-products applying circular economy as a driving-force for global changes = FiberGlob solution.
The novel solution increase quality, productivity, and gradually reduce dependence on peat...
