Turning problems into opportunities for degraded land
Every year, over 100 million hectares suffer soil degradation, leaving soils salty, compacted and barren. [UNCCD]. Yet that challenge is a resource: halophytes—plants that pull excess salt from the ground and spark recovery.
At Halorefine, we capture their full potential with a mobile, field‑side biorefinery designed for circular, low‑impact production. Our cascade fractionation system valorises every part of each plant—fibres, micro‑ and macro‑nutrients—turning what used to be waste into textiles, fuels, feed additives and health ingredients.
This whole‑plant approach puts fresh income in farmers’ hands and makes restoration economically viable. Field studies show halophyte cultivation can cut soil salinity by up to 38 % in just a few seasons, paving the way for conventional crops to return. [Frontiers]. Each tonne of biomass processed moves the planet closer to the UNCCD goal of Land Degradation Neutrality. Together, we can transform degraded land into thriving, healthy ecosystems.
