XLR8® Bio
Where there’s soil, XLR8®Bio can be used – from cane farms to exotic fruit farms, landscapers & gardeners to golf courses and turf farms to everything in between. It can be applied to the most sensitive of plants as it’s key role is to foster nutrients already existing in the atmosphere or locked up in soil – to feed the soil, not the plant so that over time, the volume of required fertiliser is significantly reduced.

Our mission
Bringing about change
Our mission is to change the way we see things, to change the way we do things. At Green Food, we convert food waste from restaurants, cafes and pubs, and convert it into an organic liquid known as XLR8® Bio and a soil enhancer called Humisoil®.

Reducing emissions
Our products are created from food and green waste that historically has been destined for landfill. We want to change that… Why? Once in landfill, food waste breaks down and emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.

A global problem

One third of all food produced is lost or wasted – around 1.3 billion tonnes of food – costing the global economy close to $940 billion each year. Almost half of all fruit and vegetables produced are wasted.

If you want to make small changes, change the way you do things. If you want to make major changes, change the way you see things.
