Eco-Responsible Production
Aware of the environmental challenges linked to soil management, our company chose, as early as the early 2000s, to adopt a proactive and responsible approach. When present in excess, phosphorus can contribute to the degradation of aquatic ecosystems—an important issue in many regions sensitive to water pollution.
Recognizing that the repeated purchase of new growing media naturally increases phosphorus levels in soils, founder Pierre-André Daignault undertook a complete rethinking of substrate management. After several years of research and development, he designed a soil-treatment system unique in Canada, allowing the same growing medium to be continuously recycled and reused.
This innovation not only significantly reduces waste and the need to purchase new substrates, but also limits greenhouse gas emissions associated with material transport and the disposal of organic waste. A concrete, consistent, and sustainable approach—at the very core of our eco-responsible commitment.
