A unique bio-technology
The unique material used by Zander is a wholly organic silt-like material created by the natural deposition of plant remains over thousands of years.

The Zander Corporation has carried out over 5 years of research and development with this substances, and have optimised:

  • Acquisition methods
  • Material processing
  • Transportation
Image The material is extracted from freshwater lakes in Northern Europe where the material has been immersed in an anaerobic environment for up to 12,000 years.
