WOOL PELLETS
Bio Products Australia (BPA) transforms low-value waste wool into biodegradable fertilizer pellets offering a clean, sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers derived from fossil fuels. Rich in key nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, these wool pellets improve soil structure, boost water retention, and support healthier, more resilient crop growth.
Product at a Glance
Feedstock: Discarded wool fibre, a by-product of the textile and livestock industries that would otherwise decompose in landfill and emit methane.
Product: Biodegradable fertilizer pellets enriched with natural nutrients, designed for broadacre, horticulture, and specialty crop applications.
Process: Proprietary thermal and mechanical treatment that sanitises, stabilises, and densifies wool for consistent pellet quality.
Applications in Agriculture
Wool fertilizer pellets are designed for use across a range of agricultural and horticultural systems where soil health, moisture efficiency, and nutrient stability are critical.
Cropping & Broadacre Systems: Wool pellets provide slow-release nitrogen and organic matter, supporting crop establishment and reducing nutrient losses associated with conventional fertilizers.
Horticulture & Specialty Crops: The high water-holding capacity of wool fibre improves moisture retention in soils and growing media, supporting plant health in intensive and water-sensitive systems.
Soil Rehabilitation & Regenerative Farming: By improving soil structure and microbial conditions, wool pellets support regenerative practices focused on long-term productivity, reduced inputs, and emissions reduction.
Strategic Impact
Waste Reduction & Emission Mitigation: Converts an emissions liability into a productivity asset, reducing methane release from decaying wool and replacing synthetic nitrogen fertilizers produced from natural gas.
Climate-Smart Agriculture: Supports farmers in transitioning to regenerative, low-emission practices meeting the growing market and regulatory demand for sustainable food systems.
Economic & Regional Value: Strengthens rural economies through local manufacturing and circular resource use, creating new markets for agricultural waste.
Policy & SDG Alignment: Supports national decarbonisation objectives and international sustainability frameworks related to climate action, responsible production, and soil health.
Scalability & Innovation Potential: Forms the basis for integrated fertilizer solutions using other organic inputs such as biochar and wood vinegar, enabling the creation of tailored blends for various soil and crop needs.
