The horticultural sector is evolving towards sustainable solutions. Promeco SpA leads this change with the Bioextruder, an innovative technology to produce wood fiber as an ecological alternative to peat.
Bioextruder: sustainable innovation
The Bioextruder transforms plant biomass into high-quality wood fiber through a thermo-mechanical treatment called "steam explosion". This process sanitizes the material, eliminating pathogens and ensuring a light fiber with excellent water retention.
Why choose wood fiber?
Compared to peat, wood fiber reduces the environmental impact: it avoids the extraction of peat bogs, reducing CO₂ emissions. It offers agronomic advantages such as:
Optimal aeration for root development;
Balanced water retention ;
pH regulation , suitable for different crops;
Versatility , easily mixable with other substrates.
A look to the future
The global demand for sustainable substrates is growing. Promeco continues to invest in innovative solutions for responsible and sustainable agriculture.
