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
 |
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.
A Natural Solution
A natural waste from one area, being used to remediate the environment damaged by man in another. It is a sustainable and renewable natural resource in plentiful supply.
|
The material is not replicable by artificial manufacture.
Exclusive extraction licences have been secured by the Zander Corporation, securing long term extraction rights.
