Soil Recovery Platform

Industrial-scale, automated production of worm casting — designed to produce reclamation-grade output for post-mining soil reclamation and circular agriculture. The core move: move the trays, not the machines.

The problem

Degraded land, rising demand — and limited automated supply in Canada.

01

Post-mining soil degradation

Canada holds enormous tracts of mined and disturbed land where topsoil structure and biology have collapsed. Remediation at scale is mandated — but under-served.

02

Growing organic-amendment demand

Worm casting is a proven soil amendment in the US and Asia. Canadian agriculture is following — but local awareness and supply remain the barrier.

03

A gap in automated supply

Existing worm farms are manual or partly mechanised — too labour-intensive and too small to feed industrial off-take contracts reliably.

Technology evolution

Five generations: from manual beds to autonomous farms.

1G

Manual CFR

Continuous flow

Ground-level continuous flow reactor. Feeding gantry on top, blade harvest below.

2G

Pro-Stack

Mechanised

Fully mechanised Pro-Stack — 2–3 beds stacked, gantry & conveyors per level.

3G

Refeed

Semi-auto

Semi-automated modular Refeed system — assembled level-by-level via bisque joints.

4G

Automated · NOW

8 levels

Moveable trays, stationary auxiliary systems. Eight levels, RFID on every tray.

5G

AI-driven

Next

Intelligent automation — biomass scanning & AI tuning. Built for 100+ t/day.

Platform deep dive

Move the trays,
not the machines.

Spreading, cutting and conveying stay fixed; the trays travel to them. That single inversion removes operator aisles, steel and equipment — and is designed to drive the lowest deployable unit cost across our generations.

Unit economics

Designed for the lowest deployable cost.

The Soil Recovery Platform is modelled to undercut the earliest manual generation by well over half — the automation and compact footprint are designed to pay for themselves in operating cost.

Why it matters

Contracted off-take needs a stable, low-cost supply. 4G is designed to be the first generation whose economics support industrial off-take without subsidy — to be confirmed against pilot cost data.

The off-take model

A closed loop with secured demand.

We build and operate; partners off-take the output under long-term OEM arrangements. Under the intended model, production is matched to contracted off-take rather than built speculatively — so the off-taker carries no production risk.

Produce

Automated soil recovery

Automated, RFID-tracked production co-located with feedstock or demand.

Supply

Casting for soil reclamation

Output designed to be consistent and scalable for soil reclamation and remediation.

Off-take

Off-take partners

Long-term off-take underwrites output up front; distribution and agronomy partners extend market reach.

Who this is for

Who buys the recovered soil output.

Casting is sold into reclamation and circular-agriculture channels — not the retail garden market. Four buyer types anchor the demand we're building toward.

01

Mining & reclamation operators

Operators with post-mining land under restoration mandates who need reclamation-grade amendment at volume.

02

Reclamation contractors

Firms executing revegetation and soil-rebuild programs who specify and place amendment on site.

03

Soil blenders & composters

Producers who blend casting into engineered soils and growing media for resale.

04

Agricultural distributors

Distributors and growers in circular agriculture seeking a consistent, local casting supply.
