Foamplant B.V., in this application accompanied by Asqa Subsidies B.V., wants to develop within this valorisation project an industrial pilot production system for the production of a new product platform sustainable, biodegradable and automatable growing substrates for different market segments in the horticulture sector. Foamplant notes that in the various segments of the horticulture sector, less sustainable (fossil) substrates are still being used, leading to a lot of pollution. In addition, the majority of substrates do not fit into an automated processing process. Foamplant is different from its competitors because it does not come from the horticultural sector, so it can deliver out-of-the-box solutions and highly innovative products. The valorisation project is an essential step for the company to scale up its production technology to industrial volumes and to produce foam substrates for each market segment with the desired air and water capacity.
