The Green Moment Launches Natural Fertilizer Prototype Using Herbal Medicine Residue and Coffee Grounds
Eco-friendly fuel specialist The Green Moment announced on the 30th that it has developed a natural compost prototype using natural materials such as herbal medicine residue and coffee grounds.
Through this prototype development, The Green Moment plans to make a full-scale entry into the natural compost market. Existing by-product fertilizers have high price volatility due to dependence on imported raw materials, so to address this, the company developed an affordable and stable natural compost made from 100% domestic waste.
The natural compost developed by The Green Moment promotes plant growth and is an organic compost with a high nitrogen content, making it more competitive compared to existing natural composts. With an organic matter content reaching 94g/kg, it demonstrates high performance as a plant-tailored organic compost.
Among the herbal medicine residues, animal-based materials are optimized for leafy vegetables, while plant-based materials are optimized for perennial vegetables. The company explained that by mixing the compost with Hwanggeum or Buja, it not only serves as fertilizer but also has insecticidal effects.
The prototype will be released in pellet and teabag forms for home gardening, where placing it on top of the soil allows plants to naturally absorb nutrients. Additionally, by mixing coffee grounds and herbal medicine residues, which have antibacterial and deodorizing effects, it reduces odors and enhances nutritional balance.
A company representative stated, “The natural compost developed this time focuses on promoting plant growth and development and will be supplied under the brand name ‘Tosanghyanggi.’ Through this prototype, we aim to provide eco-friendly and efficient natural compost suitable for urban agriculture and home gardening.”
