Our business was built on innovation. It all started in the mid 70’s with our late founder Hans Van Schaik experimenting with composting and further value-adding pine bark and sawdust which were at the time, considered waste by-products of the timber and forest industry. Our core business model has stood the test of time over the years, while we have continued to diversify across our various market segments including increasing our capability toward organic material streams and identifying key end markets for our end products. Today we provide an extensive list of products across the horticultural, landscape, viticulture, and agricultural industries which all goes toward supporting a circular economy as well as maximising diversion of waste material from landfill. We’re proud to be a family-owned Australian business that actively contributes to the overall improvement of our precious environment. Spanning three generations, the Van Schaik family play a vital role within the business to ensure that the vision that was started over 45 years ago continues to be realised and extended further to meet our Vision, Mission & Values. We operate organic receival facilities in South Australia and Victoria to support the diversion of organic waste products from landfill. Bio Gro process in excess of 300,000 tonnes of organic material to create a range of products for the horticulture, viticulture, agriculture and landscape market. This is done through strict quality control processes that are environmentally sustainable while meeting and exceeding Australian Standards for our manufactured products. Bio Gro was originated over four decades ago, by Hans Van Schaik and his wife Marjan Van Schaik, as a small earth moving business operating within the heartland of Australia’s Radiata Pine Plantations, Mount Gambier, South Australia. Hans had a particular interest in soil management, and noticed that bark and organic materials that were by-products of the local forestry industry were being burnt or destined for landfill, and believed that those organic residues could and should be value-added. Today, Bio Gro is still a privately held, family-owned company, and is now widely regarded as a leading innovator within the Australian horticulture and waste management industries. Our growth as an organisation is evidence to the great people we have working here. Our people systems are key to attracting and retaining quality professionals and we are passionate about what we do. At the core of what we do is a deep commitment to sustainability with a focus toward safeguarding our natural resources for the now and for future generations. Our Employees together with our valued customers and partners, will continue to set standards for our industry.
