How does it work?

Your EcoPond™ Service Journey

EcoPond service cycle starting with scheduling, update alterts to the treatment truck arriving and treating the pond. You'll be notified when the service is complete. This cycle repeats every 6 weeks during milking season.

We start by collecting key details about your farm – pond size, location, and access. Once scheduled, we’ll notify you when our mobile-dosing truck is on its way.

We treat your pond (~1 hour/treatment), reducing methane by over 90% for up to 6 weeks and notify you when we are done.

We return every 6 weeks during the milking season to keep your pond on track.

Does it impact my farm?

Short answer… only in a good way.

Extensive research has been conducted at Lincoln University to validate the efficacy and safety of EcoPond™ on a farm. We’re confident in our technology, and while current research supports its safety and effectiveness, as with any new technology, ongoing deployment may reveal further insights over time. Watch this space for full details of the research as we continue to unfold our journey.
