While the world has recently had a wake-up call over food shortages and climate change, reducing dependence on so-called hard chemicals is becoming increasingly important for the agriculture industry.
Making crop protection safer
Existing chemicals and pesticides for agriculture are already in the process of being deregistered – especially in Europe – or regulations around when and how they can be used are becoming tighter.
These restrictions require farmers to look for innovative solutions to help them overcome pests and disease in their crops.

The use of water in agriculture is a sensitive topic; maximizing the value of wastewater is crucial.
Convert waste to energy
Treating wastewater from industries and farms has a dual potential benefit. Treated water can be recycled to help cut down industries’ fresh water use, and the waste load in wastewater can be converted to biogas and used to produce electricity.
Anaerobic digestion is a natural process that converts organic matter present in wastewater sludge into biogas for electricity, as well as significantly reducing the contaminant load in treated water.
The energy produced from the biogas can be fed back into the grid or used in other parts of the production process, which represents a real opportunity to reduce energy costs.

We work together in ways others don’t, considering the long-term effect of our actions, never satisfied with the status quo.
Calix has its own direct delivery, service and support capabilities and also has an established a network of local distributors and partners that can provide the best solution for your specific needs and ensure you receive excellent customer service and support, wherever you are located.
THE CALIX DIFFERENCE
Calix core technology makes high surface area materials (with a honeycomb-like structure), giving you a price and a reactivity advantage.
Our materials are proving to have similar properties to highly active nano-materials, without the health/safety concerns and high cost, but with all the benefits.
Faster reactivity = less costs
MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA
Fully integrated supply chain – from mine to customer
Calix is able to offer better service, reliability and performance to its
customers because it controls the entire production process from mining
of raw materials, processing and production.
