Restoring soils with willow trees
How can willows help regenerate mining soils?
Ramo recycles willow biomass to produce an organic-rich revegetation substrate specifically designed for the restoration of mining sites, landfills, depleted agricultural lands, sand pits, and other degraded sites.
This willow-based substrate improves soil structure, enhances water retention, stimulates microbial life, and creates the right conditions for sustainable plant regrowth. By restoring soil fertility and stability, it enables an effective and circular ecological restoration made from local resources.

Restauration
Benefits
Savings
Cost reduction thanks to a local source of organic matter.
Carbon
High levels of carbon captured in the willow biomass from day 1.
Predictability
Production can be planned according to future organic material requirements.
This solution can be combined with Evaplant technology to reduce mining water volumes.
