When we say our new premium circular fertilizer GreenSwitch® Potassium Sulphate (SOP) sets a new benchmark for sustainability, we mean it! Produced by Cinis Fertilizer in Sweden, GreenSwitch® SOP redefines the way conventional SOP fertilizers are made and used, promoting a circular economy while reducing energy consumption, emissions, and waste.
GreenSwitch® SOP is more than just a fertilizer—it’s a blueprint for the future of sustainable agriculture. By combining circular economy principles, low-energy production, and emissions reduction, it offers a viable alternative to conventional fertilizers, which are often associated with high energy use and significant carbon emissions.
A Unique Circular Process Grounded in Innovation
At the core of GreenSwitch® SOP is a patented circular production process that sets it apart from conventional SOP fertilizers. GreenSwitch® SOP uses industrial by-products, such as residues from electric car batteries and pulp mill ashes.
With the rise of electric vehicles, managing battery by-products is increasingly important. GreenSwitch® SOP turns waste into value, reducing dependency on virgin resources while offering sustainable waste solutions for industries.
A Fossil-Free, Low-Energy Process
GreenSwitch® SOP is produced through a fossil-free, low-energy process that operates at just 25-30°C and low pressure, unlike energy-intensive traditional methods that require high temperatures and fossil fuels. Powered by hydroelectric energy, this process drastically cuts energy use and lowers the carbon footprint, offering a cleaner alternative to conventional SOP fertilizers.
Reducing CO2 Emissions and Pollution
Beyond energy efficiency, GreenSwitch® SOP minimizes waste and emissions. All water is recycled, and excess heat generated during production is sold for district heating, further reducing waste.
In addition to producing Potassium Sulphate, the process creates Sodium Chloride (table salt) as a safe, sustainable by-product useful for de-icing roads and other applications, highlighting the commitment to zero waste.
A Lower Carbon Footprint for Sustainable Agriculture
The combined innovations of GreenSwitch® SOP result in a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional SOP. A full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) confirms its reduced environmental impact, making it a certified, sustainable choice for growers. From upcycled materials to final delivery, GreenSwitch® SOP embodies the sustainability principles agriculture needs today.
GreenSwitch® Fertilizers: Balancing Productivity and Sustainability
In today’s agricultural landscape, where the demand for high yields often comes at the expense of the environment, GreenSwitch® Original and GreenSwitch® SOP offer a much-needed balance. Growers no longer have to choose between productivity and sustainability—they can have both. Our circular fertilizers provide essential crop nutrition while helping growers minimize their environmental footprint, offering innovative solutions that make conventional agriculture more sustainable.
