Growcoon does not harm the environment, and, with the OK Compost certificate, that is a proven fact. After degradation, nothing is left behind except water and CO2. For application in organic cultivation, however, a product must be approved first. Evaluation and regulation in this regard are formed at the European level but may or may not be adopted by a country. Therefore, whether a product can be used in organic cultivation can vary from country to country.
