Nature and technology blend into a perfect ecosystem.

Over 90,000 plants grown through our vertical aquaponic system. Thanks to the nutrients provided by fish, we have created a continuous cycle that purifies the water for a sustainable, circular, and innovative production of the highest quality.

We grow the best plant varieties without generating any kind of waste, managing to valorize every waste by reintroducing it into our production cycle.
In the aquaponics plant, water circulates from the fish tanks, reaching and fertilizing the plants, then returning clean to the fish again. This allows us to recover all the water that the plants were not able to absorb, reducing water consumption per kg of product by 90 percent compared to traditional agriculture.
By combining production processes, we are able to create a virtuous cycle and an agricultural, energy, and economic supply chain that does not produce any polluting waste.
Aquaponics is a technique that combines fish farming with the production of the highest quality salads and herbs.

The Circle’s aquaponics

Fish

The organic fish waste is the main nutrient for plants.


Biofilter


Rich in ammonia, the fish organic scrap passes through a bacterial filter that converts the ammonia to nitrates, the most important nutrient for plants.

Plants

Absorb the nutrients dissolved in the water, purifying it before it is returned to the fish.

Water

Con un risparmio idrico superiore al 90% rispetto all'agricoltura tradizionale, il ciclo si chiude e l'acqua ritorna ai pesci.

Tecnologia a supporto dell'acquaponica

Energy

In 2018, thanks to a successful European bid, and with the support of the Lazio Region, we built our photovoltaic panel system with a capacity of 10 kW.
This means that the plant's energy needs are entirely covered by a renewable energy source such as solar power, making the production cycle even more sustainable.

Control and sensors

To control our plant, we have developed and installed sensors that are able to constantly monitor the key biological values.
This allows remote control and a significant reduction in the need for excessive labor within the plant itself.
We constantly monitor: humidity, temperatures, water values, etc. to ensure that all positive parameters are met.

Traceability and safety


The Circle fully meets the requirements of food safety and food security and product traceability thanks to the tracking technology that ensures transparency throughout the supply chain.
