Harsco Environmental AgroSilicio Launches Low-Carbon Alternative Fertilizer
26 Octubre 2023 - 7:00AM
Harsco Environmental, a division of Enviri Corporation (NYSE:
NVRI), today announced the launch of a low-carbon alternative
fertilizer in Brazil. Harsco Environmental will provide AgroSilicio
to the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais to help it significantly
decrease its carbon footprint.
AgroSilicio is part of Harsco Environmental's
exclusive line of ecoproducts™ designed to revolutionize the
repurposing of industrial by-products. This innovative solution
relies heavily on using recycled steel slag and repurposing it as a
calcium silicate-based product, AgroSilicio, which processes the
characteristics of fertilizer and soil conditioner. The calcium
silicate properties of AgroSilicio give the product its
versatility. It can be used in numerous farming markets in
agribusiness, correcting chemical imbalances, nutrient
deficiencies, and soil toxicity.
“The biggest benefit we found is that when
applied to soil, AgroSilicio emits zero carbon,” said Wender Alves,
LATAM Regional President at Harsco Environmental, “In 2022,
AgroSilicio reduced our carbon footprint by more than 80,000 tons,
the equivalent of planting 570,000 trees.”
This product was introduced in Enviri's 2022
Environmental, Social, and Governance report and has resulted from
partnerships with Harsco Environmental. Steel industry clients can
now optimize the reuse of their by-products, while farmers can
enjoy carbon footprint reduction by incorporating AgroSilicio into
their agricultural practices. Furthermore, AgroSilicio continues to
provide the soil acidity correction and enhanced fertilization
efficiency that farmers rely on.
“Our customers increasingly are looking for
innovative solutions to decrease their impact on the environment,”
said Alves. “AgroSilicio does just that, and we will continue to
prioritize innovative sustainability initiatives designed to make
our world cleaner and greener while assisting our customers and the
communities in which we work and live to decrease their carbon
footprints.”
Harsco Environmental's reach extends to Minas
Gerais' four largest steel producers, where AgroSilicio, known as
AgroSilicio, has been implemented. The division has successfully
reclaimed 2.75 million tons of slag for reuse, with 250,000 tons
being repurposed for AgroSilicio production.
Harsco Environmental has a history of turning
waste into valuable resources, and the Brazilian state of Minas
Gerais has witnessed this transformation firsthand. The company's
unwavering commitment to sustainability drives the recycling and
reuse of steel slag, promoting a circular economy through its
AgroSilicio ecoproduct™ line.
