We remain at the forefront of conserving the environment and ensuring sustainability by taking full advantage of the eco-friendly traits of steel using our exclusive technologies.

Steel Builds
a Marine Forest

  • Triton

  • Sea fertilizer

  • Octopus Reef

Triton

This eco-friendly artificial reef made of steel slag provides iron that is essential for seaweed and algae spore growth.

Sea fertilizer

We place a mixture of steel slag containing iron and microorganisms in burlap coffee bean sacks off the coast to maximize the effects of Triton! The burlap coffee bean sacks are provided by Terarosa.

Octopus Reef

Octopus Reef is an artificial reef optimized for the preferred habitat of octopuses, sea squirts, and sea cucumbers and designed to protect the marine environment and increase the income of fishing communities.
