About
This project was born from the lack of outlets for soil waste, combined with an unmet demand for high-quality biological substrates.
The innovation lies in:
Incorporating compost derived from its own green waste, in partnership with its processors, following a circular model.
Creating new natural formulas, specifically tailored to the characteristics of Walloon soils.
This project contributes to industrial symbiosis, promoting sustainable sourcing and optimizing the end-of-life of soil waste by restoring its full biological potential.
It is also part of an eco-design approach, through:
Innovative formulations,
Sustainable distribution methods (bulk sales or refundable big bags instead of traditional sacks).
The techniques are already mastered, as are the production tools and required expertise (TRL 7 or 8). Moreover, the market is well-known and already established, facilitating the project's implementation.
