Sustainability with AgroBiogel and RETENTIS®

A key feature of RETENTIS® is its sustainable production from lignin, a byproduct of the pulp industry. While pulp mills extract cellulose from wood for paper and fiber, excess lignin often remains unused. AgroBiogel GmbH uses this valuable material to create a water and nutrient reservoir, allowing carbon to return to the soil. This resource-efficient solution contributes to the circular economy while simultaneously improving soil quality. This transforms a natural raw material into a sustainable water and nutrient reservoir.

Illustration of the RETENTIS® water storage gel cycle: Made from plant-based raw materials such as lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose, it stores water and nutrients in the soil, promotes plant growth in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture, and is fully returned to the natural cycle.
