Edenspace offers exceptional capabilities in using living plants to remove contaminants from soil and water. With more than two dozen field projects completed or underway, Edenspace is a commercial leader in the use of plants as solar-powered sensors, covers, pumps and filters. This exciting approach, called phytoremediation, offers substantially lower treatment costs as well as important environmental benefits.

Current projects include removing soil arsenic from industrial, government, and residential sites; removing lead from residential properties; and bioengineering plants to change color in the presence of environmental contaminants. Low cost, scalability, and greater convenience are the major advantages of these techniques relative to competing technologies. Over time, the ability to recycle lead and other metals recovered by the plants will become attractive to customers facing regulatory and legal pressures in conjunction with soil disposal. Other than in Japan, where it is represented by Fujita Corporation, Edenspace directly markets its products and services to site owners and environmental consultants.

Edenspace sells edenfern^tm plants that reduce levels of soil arsenic deposited by CCA pressure-treated lumber, pesticides, herbicides, and industrial activity. The company also sells proprietary, biodegradable amendments that enable turf grass to reduce levels of soil lead in the six million American yards that exceed USEPA guidelines. More than half of the company's customers are government agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army TACOM-ARDEC, U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Housing and Urban Development; and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Other customers include U.S. and foreign companies, academic institutions, and homeowners.
