Why invest in Typha Co.?

Champion Climate Action

Providing local climate change mitigation and adaptation for farmers and rural communities (i.e. water conservation and flood protection). Transforming marginal landscapes into climate resilient heaven for biodiversity habitat.

Changing Legislation

Global market gap for renewable substrate and fibres due to newly imposed bans that restrict plastic and peat consumption. Uniquely positioned to offset biomass costs through carbon and water-quality trading credits.

Critical Mineral Conservation

Phosphorus is a scarce, non-renewable resource essential for food production, with no substitute and no large-scale recovery solutions in place. Treating water has typically been cost prohibitive, our solution transforms watershed management in a profitable endeavour.

Saving Lake Winnipeg

Harvesting competes favourably with wastewater treatment facilities in both cost-effectiveness and its capacity to address non-point source pollution— while also providing the added benefit of a verifiable audit trail for phosphorus removal and carbon sequestration.

There has never been a more critical time to support solutions that will help keep our lakes and waterways clean:

A $4B First Nations lawsuit targets Lake Winnipeg pollution (May 2024)
Phosphorus was added to Canada’s critical minerals list (June 2024)
Manitoba set an aggressive phosphorus reduction target (August 2024)
Winnipeg committed $2M annually to green infrastructure (Oct 2024)
1000+ residents petitioned for sustainable peatland alternatives (Nov 2024)

Typha Co. is positioned to be the solution. Let’s discuss how you can be part of this movement.

Pre-seed use of funds:

Scaling operations nationally for proven gardening products.
R&D for new, high-margin Typha-based horticulture product with greater sales repeatability.
Processing facility engineering to ensure product mix optimization for market opportunities.
