Areas of active/planned interest for IZC

• Animal Feed Production in Canada ( as per IBISWORLD an expert industry market research firm) –$9.5bn Animal feel production in Canada market size in 2021 –  Animal Feed Research
• Artificial Turf  – The global artificial turf market size was estimated at USD 2.6 billion in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2019 to 2025 according to Grand View Research – Artificial Turf Research
• Municipal Composting –“From a national diversion total of 275,000 tonnes in 1992/1993, our current survey indicates that over 5.3 million tonnes of organic residuals are now being processed annually across Canada,” said Susan Antler, Executive Director of the Com post Council of Canada. With potential to double capacity – Composting Research
• Fly Ash Replacement “The global fly ash market size was valued at USD 8.54 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 13.33 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.83% during the forecast period . – Flyash Research
• Road Salt Replacement – A five year assessment by Environment Canada found that the five million tons of road salts used across the country every winter contaminate groundwater, surface water, poison wildlife and harm vegetation. Streams, small lake ecosystems and groundwater are particularly vulnerable to road salt, which should be added to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act’s toxic substances list, Environment Canada said in its report. Using the Mackinac Center estimate, that’s $4.8 billion in damage per year. – Road Salt Research
• Agricultural (non processed Zeolite) – The global soil amendments market is estimated at USD 2.94 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.7%, to reach USD 4.88 billion by 2025. – Agricultural Zeolite Research

Zeolites are a group of naturally occurringiv microporous, aluminosilicate minerals having a  honeycomb-like layered crystal structure, which can be highly chemically active: the nanostructure (size and shape of the chambers, at a scale of nanometers – millionths of an inch or less) and the high reactivity of the chemical sites in a zeolite makes it act like billions of tiny chemical reactors – “Nature’s nanotech” – which can be further altered deliberately to tune it for highly specific purposes.

NEREA™ begins with a naturally-occurring mineral zeolite – “clinoptilolite” – (known in the zeolite world by the technical code ‘HEU’) from International Zeolite, which has an enormous reserve of some of the world’s highest-quality deposits. To transform IZ’s zeolite into a complete, “zeoponic” plant-growing medium, this network of interconnected tunnels and cages is treated and modified, loading it with nitrogen and potassium and combining it with other compounds containing phosphorous, and calcium – the ‘major nutrients’ – as well as a complete suite of the minor and trace nutrients. The zeolite acts as a reservoir for the nutrients which are slowly released ‘on demand’.

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), aka “Vertical Farming” or “Plant Factories” enormous indoor hydroponic greenhouses, requiring extensive support and technology infrastructure, is one of the fastest growing sectors in AgTech . The global vertical farming market size was valued at US$2.23 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $12.77 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2019 to 2026

Plant factories/vertical farms grow primarily commodity crops like lettuce, basil and other herbs, and other leafies ” as well as tomatoes and increasingly cucumbers and peppers, which are easily harvested and packaged. The industry is beginning to shift, though, to an emphasis on higher value/margin crops such as strawberries and soon customized crops such as small melons and other items developed specifically for the emerging market
