TO WHOM IT OFFERS VALUE AND WHAT VALUE To whom What value
Agricultural producers Hydrogel (BountyGel) is injected into the cultivated soil to improve the moisture retention
Agri-food sector companies capacity and fertiliser close to the plant roots, thereby improving yield and crop quality.

Companies that process organic matter and plastic

Companies that offer technological solutions and Suppliers of consumables for the field Opportunity for distribution of this product. mOASIS is interested in entering the
Spanish / French markets through a local agent. Initially it will be a Distributor of the products

Fit in Circular Economy Contribution to environmental impact Contribution to economic impact Contribution to social impact
- Reduction in the water consumption needed to irrigate agricultural crops. Economic benefits derived from the use of this “consumable”. Favourable social impact thanks to the
Design for Circularity
Maintenance/Repair - Increases the efficiency of fertilisers used in crops (thanks to the ability to retain them near the root of [California reference provided by the company] (situation will vary in benefits it brings at the environmental level:
Reuse and recirculation the plant with hydrogel): less consumption of fertilisers to obtain the same amount of final product other contexts)
Remanufacturing produced. - The cost of 25 kg BountiGel required for 1 Ha of cultivation is - Lower water consumption
Revaluation - Less infiltration of fertilisers into aquifers. USD 370 - Lower fertiliser consumption
- Less fertiliser infiltration in aquifers
Recycling - On average, each Hectare has a gain of USD 2,225 as a result of
Energy recovery - Non-toxic and 100% biodegradable polymer under anaerobic conditions. *higher production and *lower water consumption
Product as a Service - Therefore, using BountiGel results in a gain of USD 1,855/Ha
(in the case of California).
