Izoling – Combating Desertification
Combatting desertification and greening spaces with patented technology and waste recycling to hygroscopic soil solutions.
Izoling, a licensed product of FSSGreen, is a modern, ecological biomass produced from recycled fibrous waste materials and used as a water-saving soil substrate.
Our patented and awarded solutions combat desertification, regenerate degraded or infertile soil, reduce landfills by up to 30%, and green arid spaces.
IZOLING, a modern and eco-friendly soil amendment, is obtained from recycling and serves as a water-saving soil substrate, contributing to a greener future. Izoling is produced from waste that is not used in the usual recycling process, such as all fibrous materials. Our machinery and technology compost and process this waste into a sterile biomass. The product is a testament to our commitment to sustainable solutions.

- All kinds of fibrous materials
- Paper and Cardboard
- Textile
- Packaging
Cost-Effective and Easy to Produce
Our technology offers an innovative and eco-friendly solution for municipal waste management. It seamlessly integrates into existing systems to enhance efficiency and promote sustainability with minimal investment.
- Effortless Integration: Easily introduced into any municipal waste management system, enhancing overall efficiency.
- Low entry-level investment: Implementing our technology involves minimal costs, making it a highly attractive and economically viable addition to any waste management system.
- Utilises Existing Equipment: Waste separation leverages existing machinery, reducing the need for new investments.
- Simple Production Process: The selected raw material undergoes further processing in a straightforward, cost-effective production line.
- Patented Technology: Our advanced technology transforms waste into an extraordinary biomass enriched with biological material, creating a universal reclamation resource.
Water-Saving and Self-Moisturising
The technology ensures efficient water use and self-moisturisation, providing an ideal environment for plant growth even under challenging conditions.
- Exceptional Water Efficiency: Biomass enables plant growth with minimal water supply.
- Consistent Humidity: Maintains humidity even in extreme weather, ensuring optimal plant growth.
- Protective Shell: A protective shell forms after hydration, preventing moisture loss and protecting against wind.
Ideal Land Reclamation Solution
IZOLING is the only proven soil made from waste in which plants can take root and start growing even in areas with extreme conditions, such as deserts or areas heavily degraded by human activity.
Perfect For Greening Unfertile Areas
Our IZOLING Biomass Technology is perfect for greening degraded and unfertile areas, offering a high-quality, cost-effective solution for land reclamation.
- High-Quality Biomass: Comparable to top-class natural soil, ensuring effective reclamation and revitalisation.
- Light and Transportable:Produced as a dry, light pulp, making it easy and inexpensive to transport.
- Easy Application: It decomposes and lays as a layer at the destination, with an adjustable thickness between 5 and 15 cm based on needs.
- Quick Assimilation: Integrates into the land within one vegetation season, restoring fertility efficiently.
Highly Hygroscopic
The use of ZOLING Biomass reduces water usage and ensures long-term plant hydration, leading to more sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
- Significant Water Savings: Due to the mass’s water-retentive properties, it requires 30-40% less water than other methods.
- Self-Sufficiency: Once plants reach maturity, water supply can be reduced, minimised, or stopped, promoting sustainability.
- Climate Improvement: Large-scale use positively impacts the local climate conditions.
- Hygroscopic Structure: Absorbs water from the surroundings, naturally moisturising during cooler temperatures.
- Efficient Water Retention: Forms a dry coating at high temperatures, minimising water loss and ensuring plants receive long-term hydration.
Advantages of IZOLING Biomass
Diverse Material Source
Derived from both organic and inorganic fibrous materials, IZOLING utilizes waste that is typically non-recyclable.
Enhanced with Biology
Enriched with biological material through patented methods, IZOLING becomes a universal reclamation material.
High-Quality Output
The resulting biomass rivals the quality of the highest-class natural soil, ensuring excellent growth conditions.
Combat Desertification
Using IZOLING reduces soil erosion and helps mitigate desertification, particularly in semi-arid regions.
Water Efficiency
Once plants reach self-sufficiency, IZOLING minimizes or even eliminates the need for additional water supply.
Climate Improvement
The application of IZOLING fosters positive changes in the local climate conditions, promoting a greener environment.
Fuel for energy production
IZOLING mass is a high-calorie alternative fuel. After proper processing, the waste can be incinerated and utilized to generate energy when the level of “toxicity” is too high. This means that when the waste is unsuitable for reuse, it can be turned into a new source of income.
Fertiliser
After proper preparation, combustion residues can also be used as fertiliser for plants.
Case Study
The Potential of Waste Derived Substrates in Kuwait
Collecting and disposing of waste is a major economic and health issue in Kuwait. A recent study assessed the re-utilisation potential of waste materials (paper, cardboard and cotton) as a substrate for plant growth by comparing two plots in Southern Kuwait treated with and without a waste-derived substrate such as Izoling.
The research was conducted across two land plots in Southern Kuwait planted with native forage plant seeds (Rhanterium epapposum and Festuca rubra). The study showed that the chemical composition of the growth medium was suitable for the local arid conditions. Furthermore, the soil plot with added growth medium was found to retain moisture for longer periods in comparison to the plot without. Field studies found better grass germination and growth rates on the substrate-treated plot.
