High-quality biochar production
At 360 Biochar, we specialise in producing high-quality biochar using our advanced biochar machine.
Our mission is to deliver sustainable soil enhancement solutions that improve soil health, increase carbon sequestration, and support a cleaner, more circular future.
The material
What is biochar?
Biochar is a carbon-rich material made from organic biomass, designed to improve soil fertility, water retention, and plant productivity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Built for the soil
The power of biochar
Water retention
Acts like a sponge, helping soils retain moisture and reduce water runoff.
Carbon storage
Locks carbon in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years, helping support climate action.
Sustainable growth
A natural solution for healthier soils, stronger crops, and a more sustainable planet.
Waste transformed
A circular economy in action
Our process turns suitable waste pallets and crates into valuable biochar, helping reduce waste while creating a useful resource for soil, agriculture, compost, and landscaping.
