General Questions
Water hyacinth is an invasive aquatic plant found in freshwater bodies. It poses significant threats to native aquatic plants by severely reducing oxygen levels, threatening fish survival, and causing alarming declines in aquatic populations. Its excessive growth also creates dense deposits on riverbeds, obstructing natural water flow and causing flooding in affected areas.
We convert water hyacinth from an environmental threat into valuable eco-friendly products. By harvesting and processing water hyacinth, we help control its spread while creating sustainable products like compost, paper, animal feed, biogas, and handicrafts that benefit farmers and communities.
We are based in Kerala, India, particularly serving the Kuttanad region which is severely affected by water hyacinth. However, we can supply our products to various locations. Please contact us for delivery details.

Water hyacinth compost is an organic fertilizer made from processed water hyacinth. It improves soil structure, enhances water retention, increases nutrient availability, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. It's rich in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it ideal for promoting healthy plant growth.
Our composting process takes approximately 40-45 days from collection to final processing. This includes drying, chopping, layering with organic materials, maturation, and final grinding with coconut husk and ash.
Besides compost, we produce paper products, animal feed, biogas (natural gas), and beautiful handicrafts. Each product utilizes different parts and processing methods of the water hyacinth plant.
