International Zeolite has partnered with Academia to validate disruptive commercial agricultural products. International Zeolite Corp. 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.
