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. We turn that problem into product: harvesting the invasive weed and converting it into biodegradable medical disposables and packaging manufactured on U.S. soil. Every unit removes biomass from our waterways and replaces 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 SDVOSB-certified partner — eligible for sole-source and set-aside contracting.
03
Environmental Restoration
Harvesting invasive water hyacinth from U.S. waterways — turning an ecological liability into a renewable manufacturing feedstock while restoring aquatic habitats.
