How we drive sustainability
Aquarius Innovations BV develops products based on a patented hydrogel combined with natural fibers. The composition of the hydrogel and the selected fibers (jute, flax, hemp) can be tailored to the customer’s specific requirements, ensuring optimal moisture regulation. Our products offer the following environmentally friendly advantages:
Why sustainability matters
The products of Aquarius Innovations BV are made from a patented hydrogel combined with natural fibers (jute, flax, hemp). Both the hydrogel formulation and the fiber blend can be tailored to customer specifications, ensuring optimal moisture regulation. The benefits of our materials deliver a positive impact on the environment, including:
Our sustainability formula
Water absorption
Cost-saving for our customers’ logistics budgets. The plant liner absorbs 18 to 22 liters of water per square meter, while the hydrogel coating can retain 50 to 70 times its own weight in water.
Water saving mechanism
Customers can save up to 75% on water usage and up to 50% on nutrients. The material is pH- and EC-neutral, ensuring it has no adverse impact on the soil.
Energy saving
Energy savings of 40 to 70% can be achieved thanks to the reduced water usage, lower transport weight, and increased efficiency that the material provides.
Collaborations
We strive for local production and close collaborations. We believe in the strength of working together to produce our products responsibly, efficiently, and with a positive impact on the region.
Global scalability
We prefer suppliers and co-producers who are willing to help ensure our projects run optimally so that we contribute to a positive impact throughout the entire process.
Sustainable products
Our materials are 100% biodegradable and maintain their active function for 1 year up to 5–7 years, depending on the soil type. They are composed of natural fibers (such as jute, flax, and hemp) combined with a patented hydrogel, and can be fully customized to customer requirements.
Jute cultivation contributes significantly to reducing atmospheric CO₂ and nitrogen. During its growth cycle, jute can absorb up to 150 kilotons of CO₂ and nitrogen — equivalent to the nitrogen emissions of approximately 20 cows.
