🌱 Being a company with a real impact on sustainability in Europe is the guiding principle of the Walloon company Composil. 📍 Based in Wavre, Composil specializes in cleaning and maintaining carpets 🧼.

🌱 ABIM - Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting opened its doors in Basel today. Wallonia Export & Investment Agency has a collective stand in it with 8 promising #Walloon companies from the #biocontrol sector who have come to present their products, accompanied by Wagralim, the Agri-Food Innovation Cluster of Wallonia, IIS Digibiocontrol and the Walloon working group @Agrobiocare. 📘 "#Wallonia is far ahead of #biosolutions, but the European regulatory environment is not favourable to their development. It takes a very long time for small companies to get product registration, the return on investment is potentially very slow, so it's important for us to support those companies and keep them with us. They are proactively contributing to a more sustainable system," says Yuan CHAI, International Affairs at Wagralim, the Agri-Food Innovation Cluster of Wallonia. For Hervé Legros, Chief Operating Officer at Redebel Regulatory Affairs - RRA, "There are two major challenges in the sector: 1) Accessibility to the market due to the cumbersome and lengthy regulatory #procedures (approval of active ingredients, field tests) and  2) Is the market ready? The approach to biocontrol products is different for the entire crop cycle: you have to think carefully about which product to use, for what purpose and when. There is an urgent need of #training the end users (farmers)." 💪These are all challenges that the Walloon companies present at the ABIM fair are facing by presenting their cutting edge #biosolutions, in a sector with gigantic potential in the sustainable world of tomorrow, which does things differently. 👉More information on the #biocontrol sector in Wallonia here: https://lnkd.in/e6ZqiuNp #wallonia #biocontrol #export ARTECHNO sa Agricells SA Fyteko FytoFend HEDERA-22 Medinbio APEO solutions Redebel Regulatory Affairs - RRA
