​GyroPlant supports multiple sustainability goals beyond carbon savings, with the GyroCup™ offering various environmental benefits.​

 

More information is available on our website's sustainability page.

#3 EASY TO CLEAN

Silicone rubber is easily washable by hand or in a washer​.​

 

Single-use substrates contribute to contamination by bringing in diseases and creating environments for mould and algae to thrive in.

 

However, reusable products are designed for easy cleaning, reducing water and chemicals.​

 

The GyroCup™ can withstand high temperatures (up 150 degrees) without degrading.

#6 SIMPLE PROCESS

Circular economy solution without the hassle.

#2 COST EFFICIENT

​Purchasing and replacing single-use substrates present ongoing expenses for indoor farmers, with supply chains, shipping costs, storage, material or waste costs.

 

Reduce your costs  with reusable options that offer more cost-effective solutions.​​

 

The GyroCup™ = a cheaper reusable superstructure.

#8 OPTIMISES PLANT AND ROOT DEVELOPMENT

​​Compared to single-use substrates, the GyroCup™ achieves better root development and growth for many crops.​

 

Achieving the right nutrient balance in substrates can be complex. Reusables simplify nutrient management, potentially enhancing plant growth.​

 

Substrates require precise water management, with deviations leading to root diseases or nutrient imbalances. Reusable superstructures improve water use efficiency and reduce nutrient waste.​​

#9 UNIQUE MATERIAL

​​The GyroCup™ is made from food grade silicone rubber, unlike typical vertical farming systems accessories which are made from plastic. It's not only food safe, but will reduce plastic use and waste in indoor farming.

 

Our silicone rubber formula is :​

  • Non reactive to oxidising agents

  • Anti-bacterialUV resistant

  • Wear resistant 

  • Stable in -50°C to +200°C​​

  • Easy to clean

#10 AUTOMATION 

Automation arm

​No matter which technique you use with the GyroCup™, we have the machinery and network to help automate seedling, handling and cleaning. ​

 

We are currently designing a seed tape automation machine to help our larger partners and customer for varying levels of automation. Please let us know if you would like to become a trial partner. ​

#11 NO SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITIES

Indoor hydroponic system

​​Current farms heavily depend on incoming substrates, posing challenges in remote areas.

 

Reusable products provide operational security.​​

 

No more worrying about volatile substrate supply chains, material handling, excessive cleaning.​​

#12 FACILITATES RANGE OF CROPS
