GelPonics Technology
The sustainable growth substrate
GelPonics is a range of non-synthetic hydrogel formulations that enable truly sustainable agriculture. It is made from sustainable low-carbon products and does not use environmentally harmful synthetic polymers.
You can use GelPonics in a wide range of agricultural settings. It significantly reduces an organisation’s carbon footprint and enables world-sustainable farming.
• 100% compostable and low-carbon footprint
• Replacement for stone wool, peat and coir
• Save water, control fertiliser and reduce complexity

GelPonics Granules

Improve water retention of growth mediums by adding GelPonics granules
GelPonics Granules are easy to store and are ready for tiling or spreading in arable fields to improve water retention and reduce soil erosion. GelPonics Granules are biocompatible and degrade naturally in soil.
GelPonics Granules are easily used as a dressing for potted plants to improve plant transport and shelf life.
GelPonics Sheets

Sustainably support your plants through the whole growth cycle
GelPonics Sheets come as individual rolls for controlled environmental agriculture. Our sheets can be cut to fit directly into industry-standard propagation and carry trays.
After use, GelPonics Sheets are easy to clean and sustainably dispose of. Use this to replace other growth substrates like stone wool, peat and coir.
GelPonics Plugs

Compatible with all growth systems, we can shape GelPonics to your needs
GelPonics Plugs can be easily shaped to fit into pots and troughs of all shapes and sizes. The GelPonics substrate can hold all the water and oxygen required for healthy root growth.
GelPonics Plugs are light and easy to transport. They can be used in various agricultural settings and plant types.
Our technology reduces operating complexity and simplifies plant management. We can tailor GelPonics to precisely provide the nutrients and water required for optimised plant growth. GelPonics is a suitable replacement for:
Peat

Environmentally damaging and leads to mass flooding
Stone Wool

High carbon footprint and non-biodegradable
Coir

Unstable supply chain and uses aggressive cultivation
GelPonics is made from common low-carbon products

Protecting peatland

Stable supply chain
GelPonics does not require energy-intensive processing for manufacture

Less CO2 than stone wool
GelPonics is low maintenance and can fertigate for the entire growth cycle

Crossed out pumping system
