Innovating Greener Alternatives

Sustainability drives our innovation. We are currently trialling 100% peat-free mushroom casing and developing a 30% reduced-peat mix for propagation substrates. These advancements offer more sustainable options while maintaining the performance growers need.

Responsible Peat Sourcing

Peat is essential in mushroom cultivation, valued for its unique properties. We source it responsibly, following strict sustainability standards, including RHP certification. We also work with regulatory bodies to ensure responsible harvesting and habitat conservation.
