Our Mission
A cleaner planet and a stronger domestic supply chain, from the same plant.
Water hyacinth chokes American waterways from Louisiana to Texas, costing millions each year to control. Our model turns that problem into product: harvesting the invasive weed and converting its fiber into biodegradable medical disposables and packaging made on U.S. soil. Every unit is designed to remove biomass from our waterways and replace a petroleum-based or imported alternative with an American-made, compostable one.
What We Do
Two lines of business, one mission.
02
Medical Products Distribution
Sourcing and supplying medical products to federal agencies, hospitals, and commercial buyers as an SBA-certified SDVOSB, eligible for sole-source and set-aside contracting.
03
Environmental Restoration
Removing invasive water hyacinth from U.S. waterways to turn an ecological liability into a renewable manufacturing feedstock while helping restore aquatic habitats.
