Why do we need more circular raw materials?

BVB Substrates is committed to developing sustainable growing media by testing new circular raw materials in close collaboration with its customers. One of our valued partners on this journey is VDA Plant, a Dutch grower of sustainable tropical houseplants.

VDA Plant has tested BVB Substrates’ unique circular raw material, reed canary grass, in several growing media mixes across multiple crops. The mixes have been developed together with the customer, based on continuous feedback from the plants themselves. For example, in the case of the Yucca palm, the growth performance has been so strong that the new circular blend is now in permanent use.

Watch the video to hear our Regional Sales Manager, John Noordam, explain what is driving growers, and the entire industry, towards using more circular materials.
