For the past 85 years, Galway based manufacturer Hygeia have been producing products for the gardencare, agricultural, amenity and animal care markets across Ireland and the U.K. Over those 85 years, they have learned how their business impacts the environment in many ways. Not just their manufacturing practices but also the impact their products have on the environment around us. It made them really consider the future of their business and caused them to be more innovative and question the norms. It made them ask “Can seaweed save the planet?”.
Seaweed has long been used in agriculture, food and even skin care, now it’s being used as part of the Nature Safe Garden Care range to boost people’s flower, vegetables and lawns. But why seaweed?
- Seaweed can capture carbon and remove it from the atmosphere
- It is a natural bio-stimulant
- Seaweed allows for organic growing and gardening
- Wild hand harvesting of seaweed is more sustainable than mechanical harvesting
- Completely safe for use around children and pets
- Wildlife safe too
