Which growing media is sustainable?
To determine the sustainability of growing media, it’s essential to consider its entire lifecycle—from the sourcing of materials to transportation and post-use management.
Our Sustainability Compass provides a transparent method for assessing each aspect involved in creating substrates for professional growers, hobby gardeners and bulk raw materials. This approach allows us to set specific targets, identify areas for improvement, and recognize even small changes that can make a significant impact.
Effectiveness of our solutions is the starting point for any new development in our Sustainability Compass. If a solution is not fit for purpose it is a waste of energy, materials, water and labour for the whole value chain.
Our Sustainability Compass addresses environmental, social, and business aspects throughout the value chain of our products and raw materials. For all our solutions we assess the following seven aspects: locality, climate resiliency, circularity, nature positivity, socially responsibility, water conservativeness, and user friendliness.
