SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

We Use Only Sustainable Materials

We use Sustainable Raw Materials like Bamboo, Coconut Husks, and Agricultural Waste in our Products.

 The Benefits of Sustainable Raw Materials 

– Reduced Energy Costs –

– Readily Available –

– Reduce Nitric Oxide Gas Emissions –

– Reduced Carbon Dioxide Emissions –

– Reduced Impact on the Environment –

– Reduced Cost of Goods –

COCONUT HUSKS

Coconut husks are a high-quality raw waste material used in ECOAID-activated charcoal for cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.

 Activated coconut charcoal is a superior USP food-grade, which adheres to stringent quality requirements because it is designed to be ingested as a toxin adsorbent and used in blood-filtering devices such as kidney dialysis units.

Activated Coconut husks are ideal for water filtration. The large surface area and pore structure enable the charcoal to adsorb bio- matter and chemicals from the water.

BAMBUSA VULGARIS BAMBOO

This is the most common species of bamboo in Jamaica. Over 250,000 tons of bamboo could be harvested per year.

Bamboo can be used for activated charcoal and can have a high surface area and a high degree of microporosity, which make it suitable for the purification of air, drinking water and wastewater.

Research has shown that bamboo porosity is about five times greater and the absorption efficiency ten times higher than that of wood charcoal 

ELEPHANT GRASS

Elephant Grass is also called Napier Grass. It is a waste grass used to prevent soil erosion and land restoration.  

It is fast-growing, and under favourable conditions, it can reach a height of several metres within 60 days.

The grass is high in nitrogen and used in fertilizer pellets. Elephant grass can also be used to feed livestock animals such as cows, goats, sheep, etc. I can be made into elephant grass feed pellets that have additional ingredients and nutrients.

POULTRY MANURE

Poultry manure contains all 13 of the essential plant nutrients used by plants.

These include nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sulphur (S), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), boron (B), iron (Fe), and molybdenum (Mo).

Chicken manure adds organic matter, increases the water-holding capacity, and benefits biota in tropical soil.

BANANA PLANT

The nutrient content of banana stems varies, as dry matter content ranges from 3.60-9.80%, crude protein ranges from 2.40-8.30%, crude fat ranges from 3.20-8.10%, extract material without nitrogen range from 31.60-53.00%, ash ranges from 18.4-24.70%, crude fibre ranges from 13.40-31.70%.

Parts of the banana plant have medicinal applications: the flowers for bronchitis and cooking the flowers aid diabetics; the astringent plant sap in cases of hysteria, epilepsy, leprosy, fevers, acute dysentery and diarrhoea.

NITROGEN GENERATING PLANTS

Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include the legume family- such as clover, soybeans, alfalfa, lupins, peanuts, and rooibos.
