Circular economy through technology.

 From industrial side stream to resource.


Circular economy through technology

Circular economy.


In a world where industrial waste is often seen as a problem, we at Tracegrow see it as an opportunity. 


We envision a future where industrial sidestreams are not discarded but valued as precious resources. By recycling valuable raw materials from these sidestreams, we give a second chance to resources that have already been mined. This approach not only reduces our environmental footprint but also plays a crucial role in protecting biodiversity.


RETRACER Technology.


Our groundbreaking RETRACER technology is at the heart of this transformation. It breathes new life into industrial sidestreams by converting them into valuable trace elements. These trace elements offer a sustainable alternative to virgin raw materials, surpassing traditional mining practices to meet the growing market demands. 


This innovative process is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency.


Sustainable innovation.


Tracegrow's journey started in the early 2010s, initiated by farmer and entrepreneur Petri Huhtala. From modest beginnings, we have expanded to produce over 10 million liters at our cutting-edge facility in Kärsämäki, Finland. Our organic micronutrient fertilisers are more than just products; they signify a revolution in farming practices. They tackle global issues such as climate change, resource exhaustion, and the necessity to boost harvest yield. 


As we forge ahead, we stay committed to our mission of sustainable innovation and our vision of a circular economy. In our forthcoming blog posts, we will explore the inner workings of Tracegrow, our mission, and our continuous strides towards sustainability.


Together, we can make a difference.
