Metrics

We measure the success of the Expanding Growing Surface System on what matters most for our customer, as listed below:
Technology: Unique dual membrane technology that allows for expansion of the growing surface from seeding to harvesting. Labor savings with the elimination of transplanting.
Space saving: 12X the floor space as growing surface. 6m2 of floor space enabling a total of 70m2 of unexpanded growing surface.
Energy saving: Up to 50% of energy savings vs competition depending on crop type. The controlled environment and proprietary expanding growing surface of the Pinterra unit manages the optimal grow, light, ventilation, and humidity conditions throughout the crop cycle.
Yield improvement: +350% Yield / m2 of floor space vs competition. The system leads the market in plant density and yield. It leverages the power of aeroponic technology to deliver a nutrient rich mist that promotes healthy plant growth.
Substrate Free: 7 – 12% COGS savings through the elimination of substrates from the growing system. The reduced need for inputs by being media free, meaning no need for soil, coco, rock wool, etc.
Modularity: As a method for risk reduction. Pinterra is an ecosystem of modular units, this allows for easy and swift increases in production capacity. Start with a single unit and then as demand grows adding additional units. This reduces the business risk & investment risk associated with other CAPEX intensive vertical farms.

The success metrics for a vertical farmer is hinged on factors: energy, space usage and grow media.
By focusing on key innovations in material sciences and biotechnology, Pinterra’s path breaking Modular Expanding Growing Surface System (MEGS) technology contributes to reduction in energy consumption, reduction in space, and reduction in grow media compared to other vertical farming techniques. With patents filed in the above key innovations, we bring comfort to our clients that they are benefitting from a proprietary solution.
