01-03-2025: Pwani University Confirms GR42 Polymer’s Effectiveness in Kenyan Soil
Pwani University recently conducted important tests to assess the effectiveness of GR42, a polymer developed by Green GeoEarth, in Kenyan soil. The university’s research aimed to determine whether the polymer could perform as expected in local agricultural conditions, particularly in Kilifi County.
The results showed that GR42 successfully improved soil moisture retention and fertility, leading to better crop growth and increased yields. Plots treated with the polymer outperformed control plots, demonstrating significant benefits for farmers. Additionally, GR42 reduced water use by 80%, a vital finding for areas facing water scarcity.
The involvement of Pwani University in these tests provided valuable scientific insight, helping to validate the potential of GR42 for enhancing agricultural practices and improving food security in Kenya. This collaboration marks a significant step toward more sustainable farming in the region. Click HERE to see the results.
01-03-2025: Royal Flora Holland Tests New Substrate for Improved Houseplants
Royal Flora Holland, a global leader in flower and plant auctions, recently tested a new substrate, GR42, for growing potted Spathiphyllum cv ‘Vivaldi’ (peace lily). Traditionally, peat has been used to grow houseplants, but its environmental impact and scarcity have led to a search for more sustainable alternatives.
GR42, made from renewable sources, stores more water than peat, which could be particularly helpful for plant retailers, where watering is often inconsistent.
By holding more water, the substrate could improve the quality and shelf life of houseplants, benefiting both retailers and customers.
The tests, carried out by Royal Flora Holland for the team at Green GeoEarth, focused on Spathiphyllum cv ‘Vivaldi, known for its high evaporation rate and sensitivity to drought. The aim was to see if GR42 could improve the plant's quality and longevity, providing a more sustainable option for the houseplant industry. Click HERE to see the results.

10-03-2022 | Introducing GR42
After almost 24 months of development and over 3 years of evaluating field applications, we have completed the product GR42. This is our contribution to water Conservation and bringing the worldwide water problem under control.
GR42 will be gradually available in different versions to adapt to all kind of requirements/applications.
This is a product with 80-90% water saving capability and is effective for at least 6 years. Modifications to the GR42 are planned in the future. These modifications will be optimized for special applications in agriculture, forestry and for simply all kind of green areas.
The teams are working towards a greener future.
25-05-2019 | Set up Peru partnership and projects
When you think of Peru you do not immediately think of water shortage. Unfortunately, the coastal regions where most people live, are very dry and the soils are very poor in nutrients. Here we plan to revolutionise agriculture with GR42.
Together with our new partner, SOLUCIONES NAVALES S.A.C.- Green, we are very happy to announce that an agricultural customer will be using GR42 on their several hectare plantation – watch this space for updates on their progress!
01-12-2018 | official start of the cooperation H2O future growth Kenya
We are very happy to be in partnership with H2O future growth, a highly motivated team based in Vipingo.
Together, projects with the Pwani University and other interesting
projects such as mining reclamation and agriculture have started.
The partnership with H2O future growth is exciting as it will help many East African countries combat water shortage and help increase their agricultural yield.
