About me
Dr Alicja Dzieciol (PhD Chemistry) is SilviBio’s Co-founder and CEO. She founded SilviBio out of a desire to make a meaningful impact towards transitioning towards a more fair, equitable and sustainable future in the face of the ongoing climate crisis.
SIlviBio is addressing the acute need in the agri/horticulture sector for better professional grade peat-free growing substrates in the face of peat bans and restrictions in the UK and EU . SilviBio provide patent-pending peat-free substrates for edible, ornamental and tree crops with reduced environmental impact, more resilient localised supply chains and enhanced performance. Following recent investment, they are upscaling production from pilot to commercial scale.
