Klasmann-Deilmann at GreenTech 2026 - Innovation meets sustainability
Klasmann-Deilmann showcases high-performance substrate solutions for more sustainability in horticulture at Greentech 2026. The focus will be on the ADVANCED substrates and the Growbag ADVANCED based on alternative raw materials, the Growcoon propagation system, the new TerraCoal biochar for substrates and, for the first time, the innovative Sphaxx constituents. “The demand for sustainable solutions for plant production has picked up speed,” explains Managing Director Moritz Böcking. “That's why we are developing innovative substrate solutions and raw materials with a reduced carbon footprint and maximum crop safety.” The long-term availability of renewable raw materials for substrate production remains of central importance. “We are investing in modern production facilities and securing resources so that we can supply our customers with the high-quality substrates they are used to at all times,” says Böcking.
With Sphaxx, Klasmann-Deilmann presents a pioneering growing solution that meets the criteria of sustainability, supports optimum plant growth and is characterised by easy handling. Sphaxx is produced in an innovative manufacturing process from very pure sphagnum, which comes from controlled cultivation and is not taken from peat bogs. In terms of plant cultivation, this new raw material has excellent air and water retention properties and a low pH value. The fully controlled, sustainable production ensures consistently high quality, reliable purity and increasing availability. Sphaxx will initially focus on the cultivation of orchids, with other product solutions in the pipeline.
ADVANCED Substrates: Highest quality with renewable raw materials.
The ADVANCED Substrate line, which consists of up to 100% alternative raw materials. This allows substrate emissions to be reduced by up to 80% while maintaining the same high quality. In addition to increased sustainability, these substrates offer reliable water retention capacity, optimized air permeability and excellent root development. The focus is particularly on substrates for ornamental plant production and the cultivation of soft fruit, where a high level of crop and plant safety is required. “Our ADVANCED products are based on renewable raw materials such as wood fibres, green compost, quality bark and cocos, which, in combination with peat, form the basis for crop-safe, modern substrate mixtures,” says Moritz Böcking.
Growbag ADVANCED: Sustainability and delivery reliability rethought.
For the cultivation of vegetables and strawberries Klasmann-Deilmann has developed the ADVANCED Growbag which is characterized by greater sustainability and performance. The Growbag contains an innovative mixture of wood fibres and cocos, which offers a high water and nutrient holding capacity. “With the Growbag, we offer a solution that is not only ecologically sound, but also ensures high yield security for vegetables and strawberries. We are delighted with the positive market response and the strong sales.”
Growcoon: The sustainable solution for plant propagation
The Growcoon has established itself as a successful system for propagating plants in trays. Klasmann-Deilmann will be showcasing the Growcoon propagation system as an efficient and sustainable solution for young plant production and hydroponic cultivation. The fully biodegradable material of the Growcoon forms a stable root ball in combination with loosely filled, high-quality growing media from Klasmann-Deilmann. Young plants can thus be transplanted earlier and the development of healthy, strong roots is significantly promoted.
