Biolan is a Finnish company producing substrates for growing house and garden plants, fertilizers, composters, waste water treatment systems and urban farming products.[1] The company was founded in 1974 to find a profitable and environmentally friendly way of recycling manure from broiler chicken production.[2] No synthetic fertilizers are used in the products, making them suitable for organic farming.[3] The company emphasizes sustainable development in its operations. For example, Biolan operates its own wind power plant.[4] In 2011 Biolan won the main prize in the French Eco Trophées competition, which rewards companies for sustainable development.[5] Biolan is Finland's oldest company that sells and manufactures composters. The range currently includes several composter models. Some models are thermally insulated for year-round composting. In 2011, Biolan's Pikakompostori 220 won silver in the French environmental product Eco Trophées competition.[6][7]
