One of Haliburton Forest Biochar key benefits is its impact on soil ph. Our biochar is pH-neutral and can act as a buffer in acidic soils, helping to stabilize pH by preventing rapid fluctuations. In alkaline soils with high pH levels, biochar can have a neutralizing effect by absorbing excess alkalinity. This means that biochar can contribute to maintaining an optimal pH range for plant growth, making it a valuable tool for farmers and gardeners alike. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand and innovate in our mission to produce sustainable, locally sourced biochar products. #HaliburtonForestBiochar #Biochar #Sustainability #ClimateChange #SoilHealth

There is so much work happening in the #biobased space. Each of these has merits, but some are just off-the-scale awesome. Worth reading the detail on these flagship Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) projects.

What is a #biorefinery? Easy! They are #circular factories that produce #sustainable #biobased ingredients, materials, and products from #renewable resources, such as many types of waste, including sidestreams and by-products from agricultural and wood industries, food waste, municipal solid waste, or aquatic origin such as microalgae.

🌿 Treating Blue-Green Algae with Tanfloc: A Sustainable, Effective Solution 🌿 Blue-green algae, such as Pseudanabaena spp. and Cyanophytes, can pose challenges to water treatment systems when concentrations exceed 3,000 cells/mL. At these levels, their extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) start to threaten UF and RO membranes, potentially leading to bio-fouling and loss of system performance. 💧 Watch this video to see Tanfloc in action on dam water with over 20,000 cells/mL of blue-green algae. About 60 ppm of Tanfloc and 1 ppm of PAM (polyacrylamide) were used. You’ll notice the rapid formation of large and dense flocs, which sink and are easily collected using a lamella clarifier (DAF is an option too). Why choose Tanfloc? 🔹 Biodegradable coagulant/flocculant and non-toxic to humans and the environment 🔹 Excellent chelating agent of metals and phenols 🔹 Efficient reduction of minerals and oils and greases 🔹 Generates a denser biodegradable sludge 🔹 Acts as an environmental deodorising agent by sequestering sulphide derivatives and organic materials 🔹 Reduces membranes and pipes fouling 🔹 Reduces organic load (BOD and COD) 🔹 Maintains pH balance, reducing the need for alkalising or acidic agents for pH control. Tanfloc can be used as a natural, effective solution on its own or in cooperation with inorganic chemicals, enhancing overall treatment efficiency and optimising water treatment processes. Let’s embrace smarter, greener, and more adaptable water treatment solutions. 🌍💧 #WaterTreatment #Sustainability #BlueGreenAlgae #Tanfloc #BiofoulingPrevention #CleanWater #EnvironmentalSolutions #WastewaterTreatment

A study showed that combining #biochar (BC) and biodegradable mulch film (BMF) significantly reduces soil #chromium levels and enhances #tobacco growth. This combination decreased chromium availability and increased plant #biomass, suggesting it as a sustainable solution for improving crop yield and #soilhealth amidst #heavymetal pollution. https://lnkd.in/gfZcD2by

🌿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘅𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹!🌿 We are excited to present our 5 new Astaxanthin products! Astaxanthin, the important carotenoid that gives salmon its natural color, is now available in various origins and dosages at Sunday Natural. Our New Premium Astaxanthin Sources: - BioAstin® from the Kona Coast, #Hawaii: Sustainably grown in pure spring water, without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The algae use carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, contributing to a lower CO2 footprint. - NatAxtin® from the Atacama Desert, #Chile: Algae cultivation in a pristine environment, away from agricultural areas, with direct sunlight. Sustainable production with low energy consumption and the use of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. - Astafit® from Styria, #Austria: Controlled algae cultivation in closed glass tube systems, protected from environmental pollutants. Utilizes biogenic CO2 from regional bioethanol production and 100% renewable energy. Available in dosages of 4mg, 8mg, and now: 12mg per capsule! Astaxanthin is derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, a true survivor that stores astaxanthin under unfavorable conditions, turning from green to red. Why Choose Astaxanthin from Sunday Natural? - Purity: No solvent residues or unnecessary additives like silicon dioxide and sucrose. - Sustainability: Our production processes are resource-efficient and eco-friendly. Dive into the world of astaxanthin and find your perfect product! 🌟 #SundayNatural #Astaxanthin #NaturalProducts #Health #Sustainability #BioAstin #NatAxtin #Astafit

So what happens after the Biodigester cycle is complete? What remains is Ecosoil+ and this is a natural organic soil enhancer/fertiliser that can be used, in your garden or to feed your household plants, to enhance the soil and provide the essential nutrients for your plants to be vibrant and healthy. 🪴🥕 🌸 🍅 🌺 🥔 🌼 🥒 🌱 As Ecosoil+ is high in natural organic NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium) which is vital for plant health, reducing the use of chemical fertilisers which of course will be kinder to our planet, it perfectly closes the circle, recycling a waste product into a valuable sustainable resource. 🌏 ♻ Your plants will thrive and our planet with thank you for playing your part! www.ecobia.ie info@ecobia.ie www.ecobia.ie/shop #healthysoil #ecobia #foodwaste #recylefoodwaste #foodwastesolutions #healthyplants #ecotech #homebiodigester #naturalNPK #recycle #reducereuserecycle #circulareconomy #sustainability #sustainablesolutions

COCOPEAT 🥥 Benefits of Cocopeat: 🥥Eco-friendly: Cocopeat is a renewable resource extracted from coconut husks. 🌴Water Retention: It stores more water than soil and gradually releases it to plant roots. 🥥Aeration: Provides good aeration to plant roots. 🌴pH Neutral: Cocopeat has a neutral pH, making it suitable for various plants. 🥥Biodegradable: It is 100% organic and biodegradable. 🥥How to Make Cocopeat at Home:🥥 🌱Collect coconut husks. 🌱Remove the fibers from the husks. 🌱Rinse the fibers thoroughly to remove excess salts. 🌱Dry the fibers in sunlight. 🌱Shred or break the dried fibers into smaller pieces. 🌱Your homemade cocopeat is ready for use! #cocopeat #jumokethompson

Reyneke, like Vinimark, values sustainability and is pioneering eco-friendly practices in viticulture. They are producing biochar on their farm with Ikhala Impact and African Data Technologies. This innovative process converts old vines, trees, and other biomass into charcoal through low-oxygen burning, effectively sequestering carbon rather than emitting it. By integrating this biochar into their compost, Reyneke enhances soil quality, ensuring a richer vineyard come spring. Vinimark is proud to support brands that prioritise sustainable practices. #Biochar #BiodynamicWine #VinimarkWine #VinimarkBrandPartner #ConnectCollaborateCelebrate. #Biochar #BiodynamicWine #VinimarkWine #VinimarkBrandPartner #ConnectCollaborateCelebrate

Student grade 6 telling about 1.Producees 2.Consumers 3. Decomposer. 1. Producers These are autotrophic organisms that can synthesize their #food by using inorganic molecules like water and #carbon dioxide. Thus, they do not depend on other organisms for their food. #Green #plants and blue-green algae are major producers in an ecosystem that perform photosynthesis to form their food. Producers are the suppliers of energy in an ecosystem. They act as food for primary consumers. 2. Consumers These are the heterotrophic organisms that cannot synthesize their food. They depend on other organisms to fulfilling their food needs. These are categorized into #herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores based on their position in the food chain. Consumers help in the circulation of energy in an ecosystem. 3. Decomposers These are the small microscopic organisms like fungi and bacteria that perform the function of decomposition. They on organic matter or biodegradable waste to convert them into a simpler form. They help in keeping the environment clean and mineral recycling
