CASFER Research Aligns with New Executive Order on Phosphorous and Glyphosate-Based Herbicides Recovery

This week, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to secure domestic supplies of phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides — two critical inputs for American agriculture. CASFER has been working on both challenges long before this executive order.

Here's what our researchers have already developed:

E-GROW™ — Our patent-pending electrochemical process transforms wastewater biosolids and manure into clean, slow-release organic-mineral fertilizers delivering carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and micronutrients. Pathogen-free. Odor-controlled. Regenerative-soil ready.

Advanced Phosphorus Recovery — CASFER's phosphorus recovery technology goes beyond conventional approaches, producing advanced, plant-efficient phosphorus compounds from waste streams with the potential to substitute up to 64% of current U.S. inorganic phosphorus fertilizer use.

Natural Herbicide Alternatives — Our process generates acetic acid and other volatile fatty acids as co-products. Peer-reviewed science confirms acetic acid is an effective bio-based alternative to glyphosate — meaning one platform addresses both challenges highlighted in the executive order.

Together, these innovations are building…
