One of the main values of CoBaplant is to have minimal impact on the environment. that your company has as little impact as possible on the environment itself, on the world itself. That’s why we look at our footprint, we look at transport, cultivation, fertilisers etc. We make sure that we don’t use too much of them. Like they always say: less is more! Coir is now often seen as a substitute for peat. I don’t think this is our “holy grail” though. because there are also a lot… of disadvantages is a big word… but there there are some disadvantages to Coir that you do not have with peat. Like the lack of buffering capacity. We’ve always used 100% coir in the past. At some point we’ve switched to a different type of substrate with the help of Kekkilä-BVB. We were looking at ways to make our cultivation more efficient and it came down to the buffering capacity of our substrate. We decided to add BVB Accretio to the mix, resulting in a more stable substrate. The pH and EC values fluctuate less and this results in a more stable growth of our plants. That’s something in which Kekkilä-BVB is really there to help and support. It’s not just a substrate supplier, leaving you to solve your own issues, no they take a serious look at any ways to improve your cultivation. And we keep on doing that together, because there’s always room to improve. Another thing is looking at alternative materials to grow in. I know Kekkilä-BVB is very actively looking into the development of new types of substrates. Alternatives for the types that are currently available. That’s something we all need to take seriously as raw materials will not always remain available. You can see the demand for substrate grow. Not only in horticulture here, but also from other parts of the world. That’s also a point for improvement/growth in the future. Are there options to make our own substrate from more local materials instead of shipping raw materials from Indonesia or the other side of the world? These are all movements we need to deal with as a sector. In the end it all comes down to sustainability.
