The Swiss Original for Healthy Soil and Strong Plants.
As Europe's first manufacturer of biochar, Swiss Biochar has been offering biochar of high EBC quality since 2010. Our biochar sustainably improves soils, substrates and planting systems. It promotes healthy root development, increases water retention and enhances biological activity in soils.
Whether used in climate-adapted urban soils or in professional agriculture, biochar provides a reliable, natural solution for stabilising and improving soil functions – with long-term impact and a strong scientific foundation.
Swiss Biochar Pure:
Pure biochar for professional substrates and soil applications
Pure biochar
Our EBC certified, 100% pure biochar with > 80% carbon content is ideally suited for mixing and activation in professional substrates as well as for soil improvement in agriculture, green building applications and landscape construction. Its open pore structure allows it to act as an effective water and nutrient reservoir while providing an optimal habitat for microorganisms.
Your Advantages
Sustainable soil improvement with long-term nutrient and water storage
The porous structure of biochar acts like a sponge, storing nutrients and water. Important microorganisms that live in nutrient symbiosis with the plants find a perfect living space here. Your plants thus get exactly what they need at any time.
You need to fertilize and water them less. That saves costs and effort - and protects nature.
Stronger plant growth and resilience
By stabilizing the soil ecosystem, biochar significantly improves growing conditions. Your plants become more resilient to stress, diseases and drought, allowing them to better realize their genetic potential.
For better growing, more flowering plants and higher crop yields.
Uncompromisingly climate-friendly with certified carbon sink
Biochar holds enormous potential for reducing atmospheric CO₂. Plants absorb CO₂ during growth but release it again through decomposition or combustion. Through pyrolysis, this carbon is converted into a stable form that can be permanently stored in soils – for centuries or even millennia.
For example:Â 1 kg of pure biochar binds on average 2.9 kg of CO2
Active, comprehensive climate protection with a lasting effect.
The original from Switzerland
Swiss Biochar is Europe's first producer of high-quality, EBC-certified biochar, which meets the highest quality standards with a carbon content of over 80%. Uncompromisingly climate-friendly, we focus on sustainable production and always strive for short distribution channels.

This is how you can use our products:
Agriculture and
specialty crops
For rich yields today and tomorrow: our biochar helps agricultural and specialty crops to build long-term soil fertility. In berry, fruit, vegetable and vineyard systems, our products improve water management, stabilize soil structure and activate soil biology.
When combined with organic materials, resilient and balanced soil systems develop. This creates the foundation for healthy crops, stable yields and sustainable farming. Our biochar has also proven effective as a feed additive or bedding material to support animal health.
Increase yields of specialty crops
Permanently improve soil fertility
Promote animal health and stable hygiene
Green building
and blue-green infrastructure
In sponge cities and blue-green infrastructure, our biochar makes an important contribution to high-performance substrates. It helps strengthen urban trees, keeps retention areas functional and makes vegetated surfaces more resilient to drought and heavy rainfall.
Together with planning offices, substrate producers and municipalities, we develop solutions that improve water storage and filtration, optimise nutrient availability and stabilise soil structure over the long term. The result is resilient urban green infrastructure that is better prepared for climate change.
Increase health and resilience of urban plants
Optimize water and nutrient management on difficult sites
Reduce the effort and cost of watering and fertilizing
Utilize innovative heavy rainfall management
Landscaping and horticulture
In parks, green spaces and lawns, you can significantly reduce their maintenance requirements in the long term by incorporating our biochar products into the soil. Plants are healthier, stronger and thus much more resilient even when the areas are used intensively – such as on golf courses or sports fields.
Increase resistance and resilience of plants
Maintain more resilient lawns and green spaces
Significantly reduce maintenance requirements

About Swiss Biochar
As a Swiss company, we attach great importance to conservation, innovation and quality:
In close cooperation with the Ithaka Institute, we have been doing pioneering work in the field of biochar and substrate production since 2010. Swiss Biochar, for example, was the first manufacturer to produce high-quality biochar in Europe and the first company ever to receive EBC certification.
Since 2021, we have been part of the Novocarbo Group, with whom we share the same values and convictions. Our joint expertise has enabled us to optimize our product range for a wide variety of applications – from viticulture to greenery and balcony plants.
