GreenTechnologies gets Competitive USDA SBIR Phase II grant
In Florida, GreenTechnologies announced that its research and commercialization project for a new Reactive Layer Coating (RLC) technology for biobased fertilizers has been awarded a highly competitive Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II Award of $649,875 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
GreenTechnologies noted that it will develop pilot scale manufacturing capabilities to produce and commercialize its new product line, GreenEdge RLC, to expand its existing markets which include lawn and landscape, professional turf, agriculture, greenhouse, and horticulture markets.
This patented technology is different from conventional fertilizer coating methods because it uses an in-situ process which creates a reactive layer between the mineral coating and the organic base, the firm said.
“We are motivated by the vote of confidence from the USDA to develop the next generation of coated biobased enhanced-efficiency fertilizers. This innovative technology will provide a sustainable solution for the effective use of organic nutrients and recycle it into a valuable and environmentally sound fertilizer, exemplifying the values and principles of our company,” said Amir Varshovi, CEO and founder of GreenTechnologies.
