Harsco Environmental to Present AgroSilicio a Unique Fertilizer from Recycled Steel Slag at COP28
04 Dicembre 2023 - 2:00PM
Harsco Environmental, a division of Enviri Corporation (NYSE:
NVRI), has been invited by the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais to
present the business’ newly developed ecoproduct, AgroSilicio, at
this year's COP28 Climate Summit in the United Arab Emirates.
AgroSilicio is a fertilizer reimagined from
steel byproducts, which has been certified for usage by the
Brazilian government. The environmentally friendly product has had
tremendous success in the markets where it has been introduced.
This innovative solution relies heavily on using
recycled steel slag and repurposing it as a calcium silicate-based
product which possesses 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, and to correct chemical imbalances,
nutrient deficiencies, and soil toxicity.
This innovative product and technology are part
of Harsco Environmental's exclusive line of ecoproducts™. The
fertilizer, which acts as a nutrient, has reduced the carbon
footprint in Minas Gerais by 80,000 tons, or the equivalent of
planting 570,000 trees, in 2022.
“Leaders in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, are
striving to balance industrial growth and sustainability,” said
Wender Alves, LATAM Regional President at Harsco Environmental. “It
was a breakthrough when we realized that slag from steel production
could be transformed into quality fertilizer for the Brazilian
agriculture business. We are proud that this has helped
significantly reduce the carbon footprint and are honored to
present this on behalf of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, at the
world's most important environmental forum.”
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.
Harsco Environmental has a history of turning
waste into valuable resources, and the 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.
