Every crop has its requirements. In a greenhouse or nursery, it all begins with your plants, your irrigation and your goals.

Our horticultural peat offering is backed by an industrial operation already in production.

With BEYOND, let’s develop a substrate suited to germination and the first days of growth. Peat, natural fibres, biochar: let’s choose the components to suit your crop.

Then comes the trial. Compare under your growing conditions, observe the roots, adjust the formulation and prepare for what comes next.

What if the container were also part of the solution, from the nursery to the garden?

We are exploring a nutrient reserve built into the container, with nutrients that could become available with moisture, to support growth in the nursery and reduce supplemental inputs.

Our ambition: a fibre container designed to be planted directly with the plant and its root ball.

A container designed to let roots spread and offer an alternative to plastic pots.

Growers, nurseries, brands: let’s talk about your project. BEYOND. Your crop. Your substrate. From grower to garden.

Your needs · two starting points

An available base. A blend to develop.

Whether your requirements are already defined or call for a specific formulation, the conversation starts with your crop.

01Commercially available

Horticultural peat

A commercial offering for your growing needs. Together, we clarify the required properties, volumes, packaging and destination.

Discuss my supply needs
02To be developed

Your tailored blend

A formulation to develop for your crop and irrigation practices. Components and proportions are selected with you, then evaluated in a trial.

Prepare a trial

From materials to growth

An approach connecting substrate, water and the growing system.

01 / 03

Start with your conditions.

Species, growth stage, container and irrigation: your production conditions guide the choice of substrate.

Preparing materials for horticultural substrate production

From formulation to production batch

An industrial base. Already in production.

BEYOND connects your needs with formulation and manufacturing expertise. Composition, consistency, packaging and logistics are defined with the teams engaged for your project.

Manufacturing base track record, based on information provided by management.

Your crop as the starting point

Move forward with a practical trial.

A clear goal, a control and useful observations to decide what comes next.

  1. 01

    Define

    Describe the crop, current substrate, irrigation, volumes and desired outcome.

  2. 02

    Formulate

    Select a base and prepare candidate blends with identified parameters.

  3. 03

    Trial

    Compare with the control in your conditions and track the criteria agreed with your team.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Use the results to adjust, then define the batch, packaging and upcoming deliveries.

Beyond the blend

Design the growing system.

Container, substrate and water can be considered together. Each development pathway has its own next validation step.

Fibre-based horticultural tray with seedlings
Prototype

Tray + substrate

Moulded fibres, substrate and cell geometry developed together for a defined growing protocol.

Concept

Planting Ring

A ring or cone exploring ways to guide water toward the root zone. Formulation and function require field qualification.

Moulded fibre protection and growing pot
Prototype

Moulded fibre protection

Protection designed around the product and its logistics, with its potential next use or end-of-life pathway still to be qualified.

01

Grow

Start with your conditions.

Species, growth stage, container and irrigation: your production conditions guide the choice of substrate.

02

Formulate

Build the right blend.

Peat, fibres, biochar and other components are evaluated based on the target properties and a defined trial protocol.

03

Deploy

Prepare for production.

A pilot batch lets you observe crop response before defining the formulation, format and supply requirements.
