URINE
A locally-sourced renewable resource for agriculture
Toopi Organics creation stems from a very simple question: how can we stop using chemical fertilisers? How can we stop doing our business in drinking water? How can we act against pollution on land and in water? All these questions have one thing in common: urine. By placing it at the centre of the transition towards sustainable agriculture, we can solve other problems in a systemic and durable way.
Toopi Organics
Recycling and adding value to human urine
Founded in 2019 by Michael Roes, Toopi Organics collects and recycles human urine for agriculture. Urine is collected with the help of partner companies during events, music festivals, and in dry toilets in establishments open to the public (resting areas, touristic sites, amusement centres, high schools…). We process urine by filtrating and fermenting it to sanitize it. This allow us to use it as a growth media for bacteria with a high agricultural potential. Toopi Organics launched the commercialisation of urine-based biostimulants in France and in Belgium, and is currently developing new microbial products targeting phosphorus, nitrogen and hydric stress in order to provide farmers with alternatives for conventional chemical fertilisers.
