ICL Group is a leading global specialty minerals company dedicated to creating impactful solutions for humanity’s most pressing sustainability challenges, particularly in the food and agriculture sectors. Leveraging its unique bromine, potash, and phosphate resources—and powered by a global team of over 12,000 employees—ICL continually pushes the boundaries of innovation to meet the world’s growing food security needs.
A prime example of this commitment is eqo.x—an industry-first, fully biodegradable controlled-release fertilizer (CRF). This groundbreaking advancement not only sets a new global standard by aligning with the EU Commission’s 2028 biodegradability criteria four years early, but also marks a giant step forward for sustainable agriculture.
The fertilizer’s specialized coating naturally breaks down without leaving toxins or harmful residues, thereby preserving soil health and positioning eqo.x as a truly sustainable product. By increasing yields, enhancing nutrient use efficiency, and reducing costs for farmers, eqo.x exemplifies ICL’s mission to responsibly feed the world while safeguarding the environment for future generations.
