Regenerative soil enhancement material

Urban resilience starts below the surface.

Soilence is a regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams, designed to help urban soils retain water, support plant growth and perform under heat and drought stress.

The approach

An organic soil enhancement material designed for climate-stressed cities.

Soilence is a regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams and tailored to site-specific conditions. It is designed to improve water retention, support microbial activity and root development, reduce erosion, improve soil stability and support long-term carbon storage.

The system

A physical product and a measurement layer.

Soilence is the regenerative soil enhancement material. Soilence Score is the emerging measurement layer that validates how it performs over time.

Layer 01 · Product

Soilence. The enhancement material.

A regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams. Designed to improve water retention, support microbial activity and root development, reduce erosion and improve soil stability under heat, drought and stormwater stress.

Layer 02 · Validation

Soilence Score. The measurement layer.

An emerging companion layer that tracks soil moisture, plant health and long-term retention across pilot sites, so future Soilence formulations can be matched to different soil types and climates.

Differentiation

A regenerative material, not a generic amendment.

Soilence is a regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams, designed for water retention, microbial support, erosion reduction and soil stability in climate-stressed urban environments. It is paired with Soilence Score, an emerging measurement layer that validates performance over time.

  • Ordinary topsoil

    Generic mix, not formulated for site-specific climate stress.

  • Compost or biochar alone

    Single inputs. Useful, but not a complete soil enhancement material.

  • Standard substrates

    Optimised for production, not for long-term urban resilience.

  • Soilence

    A regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams, paired with an emerging measurement layer.

Benefits

Soil designed to hold up over time.

Built to support long-term soil function in urban environments under climate stress.

Water retention

Designed to help soils retain more water through heat and drought, supporting vegetation through dry periods.

Microbial & root support

Intended to strengthen soil structure and support microbial activity and root development below ground.

Erosion & stability

Formulated to reduce erosion and improve soil stability in climate-stressed urban environments.

Long-term carbon storage

Built from organic surplus streams, intended to support carbon storage in soil over time.

Applications

Where Soilence belongs in the built environment.

Urban green infrastructure

Substrate for the planting that surrounds modern city life.

Green roofs

Lightweight, organic and water-retentive. Built for rooftop conditions.

Stormwater landscapes

Designed to improve infiltration and reduce runoff in climate-adaptive sites.

Parks & planting

Healthier root environments for trees, shrubs and perennial beds.

Pilots & validation

Real conditions. Honest learning.

Active pilots with cities, research institutions and landscape professionals across multiple climates.

Field testing

California heat & drought trials

Active pilots in high-temperature, low-rainfall sites observing soil performance under sustained environmental stress.

Ongoing
Municipal validation

Working with cities on resilient ground

Pilot collaborations with municipalities exploring how regenerative soils can support cooler, healthier urban environments.

Ongoing
Research partnership

URA. Resilient urban infrastructure

A long-horizon initiative on the measurement and design of resilient urban infrastructure.

Ongoing
Pilot process

How a Soilence pilot begins.

A clear path for cities, landscape professionals, contractors and strategic partners exploring a site-specific pilot.

01

Site assessment

We review the site, climate exposure, hydrology and intended planting to understand what the ground needs to do.

02

Formulation & deployment planning

Soilence is composed from natural surplus streams to match site conditions, with deployment scoped alongside the project team.

03

Pilot installation

The resilience layer is installed in coordination with landscape professionals and contractors on site.

04

Measurement & reporting

Soil performance is observed over time through the emerging Soilence Score layer, which tracks soil moisture, plant health and long-term retention so future formulations can be matched to different soil types and climates.

About

A regenerative material for the cities of tomorrow.

Soilence is a regenerative soil enhancement material made from organic side streams, developed for urban environments under heat, drought and stormwater stress. We work with cities, research institutions, landscape professionals and contractors through active pilots in California and Europe.

The company is in an active validation phase. Our work pairs the physical enhancement material with an emerging measurement layer, Soilence Score, so that soil performance can be observed honestly over time and across sites.

Based in Helsinki. Pilot environments across California and Europe. Supported through public innovation funding and international climate venture programs.
