SEARCH: SDG 14 - Life below Water

Over the years, as awareness regarding global and regional sustainability challenges increased, ICL developed a two-legged approach. On the one hand, the operational focus has been on reducing negative impacts - promoting energy, material and carbon efficiency, pollution control, risk reduction, and supply chain impact. In parallel, there has been a growing focus on the introduction of solutions that increase the global positive impact of ICL’s business - through its products, existing and new. Much progress has been made on[...]

ICL is a global leader in controlled release fertilizers which enhance nutrient efficiency and minimize leaching and volatilization into the environment. These products enable growers around the world to reduce fertilizer usage and simultaneously achieve higher quality crops and yields with a lower environmental impact. Revolutionizing Fertilizers with Controlled Release Fertilizers CRF is considered the fertilizer technology with the highest nutrient use efficiency. 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production,[...]

The fertilizer industry helps to overcome agricultural challenges, and facilitates increased crop yields on existing agricultural land, preventing excess conversion of natural habitats into agricultural land. As a major producer of fertilizers and specialty fertilizers, ICL’s products enhance yields and improve crop quality, increase nutrient use efficiency (more fertilizer is taken up by crops) as well as reduce water consumption (H2Flo) and protect the environment by minimizing losses (leaching and volatilization) of nutrients. 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production[...]

Phosphate rock is an increasingly scarce source of phosphorous, and methods are underway to recover and recycle phosphates from other sources such as human sewage, animal manure and waste ash. ICL Fertilizers Europe’s goal is to replace phosphate rock with secondary phosphates. https://youtu.be/Yokepk-i66QPhosphorus is an essential element for plant growth that cannot be replaced. As phosphate rock becomes scarcer, ICL is looking at various alternatives. There is a possibility of recycling phosphate. Currently, available secondary phosphate, found in sewage sludge as[...]
