A Circular-Economy Partner Supporting Farmers Across Murcia
IBERIACHAR is a circular-economy company based in Murcia, created to work hand-in-hand with farmers, turning pruning residues and agricultural biowaste into clean, high-value products that improve soil while protecting the environment.
Our goal is to offer a reliable, local solution for managing pruning waste while creating new economic opportunities for farmers who want to contribute to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable agricultural future in Murcia.
Mission
Our mission is to convert agricultural and forestry residues from the Region of Murcia into biochar, together with other circular materials, to offer farmers a reliable local alternative to burning waste while contributing to cleaner, more resilient, and more sustainable agriculture.
Our values:
- Circular economy: giving a second use to what is currently treated as waste.
- Commitment to farmers: clear, long-term relationships with farmers and cooperatives.
- Rigor: measure, document and verify before making claims.
- Transparency: clearly present the goals and communicate results as they become available.
- Local roots: creating economic and environmental value in the Region of Murcia.
