About Forterra Environmental Corp.

Forterra Environmental Corp. is an emerging leader in the production and marketing of premium organic soil enrichment products.

Forterra is the first company to commercialize the indoor, large-scale production of totally organic soil-enrichment products. Forterra uses red wriggler worms to convert organic waste into vermicompost or worm castings. Worm castings contain micronutrients, which are required for healthy plant development.
