Eco Voice Q & A: Dr Ramiz Boulos, Founder and Executive Chairman of Veratin Limited (NSX: VTN)
To provide insights into how the green chemistry process fits into the circular economy, and Veratin’s innovation in reducing waste, Tim Langdon, publisher of Eco Voice, had the pleasure of facilitating a Q & A with Dr Ramiz Boulos, Founder and Executive Chairman of Veratin Limited.
Q1 . What is Veratin Limited focused on in terms of innovation in reducing waste?
Veratin is a multi-industry company that has created an innovative process through green chemistry that turns waste wool into high value products. The company has several arms – plant and soil health, cosmetics, biodegradable polymers, and functional foods and nutraceuticals.
Veratin’s liquid fertiliser and soil improver, Verigrow, is an all-purpose product and one of the greenest fertilisers in the market (1 unit of N from Verigrow is equivalent to 3.5 units of N from other products) and it is the first of its kind to be made from amino acids from upcycled waste wool. The amino acids take the need out for having too much nitrogen in fertiliser, while still working to increase crop yield. It also works just as effectively across a wide range of natives, lawns, fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Veratin is also looking to use the same green chemistry process with another of Verigrow’s products set to launch, a pot that is made using its biodegradable polymer, reducing the need for harmful plastics. More than a plant pot, the Verigrow pot is a plant food in a pot, providing plants with the necessary nutrition as it biodegrades in the soil – a truly revolutionary product.
Q2. What is the green chemistry process?
The green chemistry is the process of reducing or eliminating pollution and harmful substances at its source. Veratin looks to apply this method by reducing waste from low grade wool and upcycling it into high value products. In the plant and soil nutrition space, Veratin does this by reducing nitrogen in its Verigrow fertiliser by using amino acids reducing the environmental footprint from its fertilisers and soil improvers.
