COMPO BIO GRANUPLANT® wins Promarca Sustainability Award 2024

Allschwil (CH), October 2024 – With the Promarca Sustainability Award, the Swiss Association of Branded Goods annually honours those branded products that stand for outstanding achievements in the areas of sustainability and innovation. This year's winning product is COMPO BIO GRANUPLANT^®, which convinces as an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional expanded clay.

Recognition for sustainable innovation

The product, which has already won several international awards, has established itself as a pioneering solution for sustainable plant care. GRANUPLANT^® consists of 100 percent natural pumice granules. It ensures significant CO₂ savings compared to conventional expanded clay and at the same time convinces with excellent drainage properties. The Promarca jury particularly praised COMPO's holistic approach, which combines ecological responsibility with high product quality.

Award ceremony in Allschwil

The sustainability award ceremony took place at COMPO's Swiss branch in Allschwil. David Franitza, Managing Director of COMPO Jardin AG, was enthusiastic about the award: "COMPO has always broken new ground, found innovations and provided new answers. This is also the case with GRANUPLANT^®. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best quality products that are sustainable throughout the entire production and application process. This award is a great confirmation of our orientation and commitment."

GRANUPLANT^® on course for growth

The growing demand for plant granules confirms COMPO in its orientation. From 2025, the successful GRANUPLANT^® concept will be expanded in Switzerland to include the indoor line for indoor plants, which has already been successfully launched in Germany. With the COMPO BIO GRANUPLANT^® INDOOR plant granules and the COMPO BIO GRANUPLANT^® plant fertiliser, COMPO responds to the demand - and does so on the basis of 100 percent natural ingredients.

The Promarca Award is one of numerous international awards for innovations, products and services that underline the trust of the market and the sustainability of the COMPO brand.
