Biomass pellets being treated with beneficial microorganisms during production
Product technology

From protected grassland to functional pellet.

We turn Natura 2000 grass into a heat-sterilised, microbially active pellet, the base for bedding, fertiliser, and growing substrate.

Inside the pellet

One pellet. Eight engineered properties.

95°C sterilisation

Heat-treated and sterilised at 95°C during production.

High moisture absorption

Absorbs significantly more moisture for its weight than loose biomass.

Odour control

Binds and reduces odour to keep the surrounding environment fresher.

Easy to handle

Lighter to transport and simpler to store and spread than loose biomass or bales.

Beneficial microorganisms

Enriched with selected microbes that activate with moisture.

Natura 2000 biomass

Made from biomass harvested in protected Natura 2000 grasslands.

Sustainable by source

Uses grass that would otherwise go unused, closing a resource loop.

Cleaner, drier performance

Designed to keep the area where it is used cleaner and drier.

Heat-sterilised at 95 °C.

Made from Natura 2000 grassland.

Enriched with microorganisms.

From grass that would go unused.

Where it's made

Production that comes to the meadow.

The pellets are made close to where the biomass is cut. Late-season grass from managed grasslands is dried, pressed and heat-treated on site, so the raw material travels as little as possible before it becomes a finished product.

A mobile pellet line.

Our production model is built to be local. A mobile pellet unit, housed in a sea container and moved by truck, can operate within roughly a 50-100 km radius, processing grassland biomass close to where it is collected and cutting unnecessary transport.

Why it matters

A bedding that gives more than it takes.

Every pellet starts as grass that would otherwise go unused in a protected Latvian meadow, and ends as a cleaner bed, healthier soil and a grassland kept open for the species that depend on it.

Honest claims

What we do and don't claim.

External testing is still under way, so we describe what our products are designed to support rather than making guaranteed performance claims.

EU LIFE project

Made within the LIFE UpcyclingGrass project.

Our biomass pellet products are developed within the EU LIFE UpcyclingGrass project, in cooperation with Latvijas Dabas Fonds and BioEffect.
