Published purpose
Rock wool continues to be a common choice for soilless cultivation media in hydroponics, despite 70 000 tonnes or 250 000 m3 of rock wool waste ending up in Canadian landfills each year. Genics Inc. is developing a replacement that will eliminate rockwool waste, reduce labour and carbon footprint in greenhouses. By the end of this project, the Firm will scale up the innovation’s production to pilot scale and refine the manufacturing process to ensure product reliability and acceptance by customers. Genics will develop our manufacturing and prototype testing processes (increase the TRL from 7 to TRL 9).
