Biochar is a stable, carbon-rich material produced by heating organic wood waste at high temperatures, creating a highly porous stable carbon structure.

It improves soil health, retains nutrients and water, supports microbial life, reduces nutrient leaching, and provides long-term carbon storage for agriculture, landscaping, water filtration, and land restoration applications.
