Subster
Offer Type
Description
SubsTer® makes it possible to valorize unused materials and to provide substitute topsoils for plantations while saving agricultural land.
SubsTer® enables the manufacture of substitute soils from quarry waste and unsold materials, thanks to unique expertise resulting from a technology transfer developed by INRA, CNRS, and Lorraine University, through the Soils and Environment laboratory.
SubsTer® engineering relies on soil characterization using Transmission Electron Microscopy and aims to recreate living soils. We recreate these soils by working during our formulations on micro-aggregation phenomena of mineral waste with local organic matter carrying microbial potential adapted to the needs of each deposit.
• If applicable, what is the added value compared to conventional solutions?
SubsTer® provides healthy and living soils that do not come from the degradation of agricultural areas, are not variable quality construction site soils, and are supplied with an agronomic sheet demonstrating their quality and harmlessness.
