Kitty Litter vs. Zeolite – Denaturing Cannabis


According to André Gagnon, media relations advisor for Health Canada, “Cannabis is considered to be destroyed when it is altered or denatured (stripped of its natural qualities) to such an extent that its consumption and propagation are rendered impossible or improbable.”
 
So, how can Cannabis LPs denature their cannabis waste?
Up until recently, many companies have been using Kitty Litter to do this, but there is a better, more natural way. Zeolite!
 
Why is Zeolite better?
First an foremost, cost. Zeolite can be purchased in bulk (you can literally get it delivered by the tonne), as opposed to heading to a big box store, which typically includes sending your own staff to do so, increasing cost in both staffing and product.
 
Zeolite’s Compostable!
Zeolite is 100% compostable and environmentally friendly, unlike kitty litter which can include questionable ingredients that shouldn’t be put back into the soil.  Cannabis denatured by zeolite makes for an excellent addition to soil adding carbon, nitrogen, and trace elements, continuing the circle of life.
 
Zeolite is Ecofriendly
Progressive Planet uses substantially less packaging for its zeolite than kitty litter. We also offer re-useable bins, and we’ll clean them for you too!
 

Zeolite’s Cementing Characteristics

“This research article provides an overview of the benefits of zeolite in concrete including increased strength. The article does not talk about the massive decrease in the carbon footprint of zeolitic concrete based on the fact it absorbs CO2 from the air and from the reduction of hydrocarbons needed to “cook” Portland Cement. Zeolite gets its cementing characteristics without being roasted at 1,400 degrees Celsius.” Steve Harpur

Zeolite Market Potential

“It is an encouraging sign of the market potential for zeolite when very large industrial chemical companies invest in zeolite.” Steve Harpur

Enhancing the Growth of Cannabis

“This is an interesting article that talks about various ways that technology is being used to enhance the growth of cannabis.

Zeolite has now been proven to provide benefit in growing hemp and work is being done by companies to test zeolite’s ability to enhance the growth of cannabis.” Steve Harpur
