Partners with Academia Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2021) - International Zeolite Corp. (TSXV: IZ) (OTC Pink: IZCFF) (FSE: ZEON) (the "Company") is an international marketer and supplier of natural zeolite and zeolite-infused products for environmental, livestock and agriculture industries. Zeolite is one of nature's more multifaceted minerals. With its microporous honeycomb structure, the volcanic mineral acts as both a natural filter used in water and air purification and an absorbent utilized by the agriculture industry to modulate water and nutrients.
International Zeolite's newest venture entails creating a Canadian and North American market for the Cuban product NEREA®, a proprietary, environmentally friendly technology that embeds nutrients directly into the zeolite. According to the University of Havana Foundation research, when used as a substrate or a soil amendment in agriculture, NEREA® produces higher yields of crops and uses less water. NEREA® zeoponic technology has proven to produce higher yields of crops by 20-30%, a higher quality of product, uses less water by 30% and has lower plant infection by fungus, viruses and microorganisms. NEREA® substrates are environmentally friendly and do not produce wastes that damage the environment.
The Company has partnered with Niagara College's Research & Innovation (R&I) division to conduct two equally significant research projects. One project comprises a comprehensive market analysis of the greenhouse environment in Canada to determine the industry where NEREA® fits best. The other involves hands-on trials to test and validate the product's technical performance.
"The challenges are to verify that the benefits obtained in Cuba can be replicated in Canadian conditions," explains Ray Paquette, CEO, International Zeolite, "and to determine how to promote commercial adoption of NEREA®-based substrates and soil-based media."
