WHAT WE DO

Quite simply, NovaGreen Fibre ADDS VALUE!

1)  VALUE-ADD to the Food and Nutrition Marketplace - Narrowing the 'Fibre Gap'

Xylo-Oligosaccharides, or XOS, is an emerging, high demand prebiotic fibre. Science shows that an immense 'fibre gap' currently exists in most typical North American diets.

"Of the under-consumed nutrients, calcium, potassium, dietary fibre, and Vitamin D are considered nutrients of public health concern because low intakes are associated with health concerns."  - Dietary Guidelines for America 2015-2020 (8th edition)

In the United States, the recommended dietary fibre intake is 14g/1,000 kcal. For an average adult, this translates to a daily intake of 25g for females, and 38g for males.  Most Americans only consume about half of the recommended intake. This dietary shortfall is called the 'FIBRE GAP'. 

XOS - Setting the Bar for Dietary Fibre

XOS is an amazingly efficient prebiotic fibre. It is up to five times (5x) more efficient than dietary fibre alternatives
such as Inulin, Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), or Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS).

NovaGreen Fibre-UP is perfectly positioned to be the PREBIOTIC FIBRE OF CHOICE for a wide variety of processed food and dietary supplement applications. Fibre-UP will narrow the dietary fibre gap, and up your fibre in a most efficient manner!

2)  Adding Value to Agriculture and the Environment - Biochar for Soil Amendment and Remediation

After initial processing, we convert the process remnant to biochar. Biochar has significant benefit to agricultural and industrial processes, and contributes to environmental sustainability. Soil and plant benefits include:

• carbon stabilization
• reduced fertilizer requirements
• reduced carbon dioxide emissions
• reduced nitrous oxide emissions
• enhanced plant productivity
• increased water holding capacity, improved nutrient retention, increases beneficial biota in soil

NovaGreen Biochar will provide all of these benefits back into the regional soil that grows the starting biomass crops.

A full product life cycle benefit takes place via combined processes.

Additionally, NovaGreen Biochar is environmentally friendly. When biochar is put back onto the land,
the process sequesters carbon back into the earth. It is CARBON-CREDIT ELIGIBLE.

NovaGreen Fibre's combined processes benefit human, agricultural, and environmental health.
