About Biota Nutri

Biota Nutri is a producer and supplier of organic fertilizers in horticulture, vertical farming, urban framing, agricultural branch, lawns etc.

We believe in a circular economy that stands for an economic system that is meant to maximize the re-usability of products and raw materials and to minimize the destruction of values. That is why the aim is to replace synthetic fertilizers for fertilizers from the circular economy and to reduce the use of minerals.

Our mission is to: • Make healthy and organic food sufficient for people; • Turning waste streams into residual streams and making new products out of this; • Increase nutritional values; • Increasing returns.
