Interview with N. Lygeros on Radio Elpida 96.1FM regarding the geostrategic position of Thrace, Greek zeolite and the utilisation of natural gas, on 22 April 2016.

Crete must find a clever way to combine tourism, olive oil production and energy. The key ingredients for the success of this endeavour are Greek innovation, zeolite from Thrace and natural gas from southern Crete. The whole framework must be managed strategically, as critical decisions for the future will need to be taken. In other words, Crete’s endeavour is a practical one and no longer merely theoretical generalisation. There must be coordination of efforts between the Regional Authority, the municipalities and the Hydrocarbons Master’s programme at the Technological Educational Institute of Heraklion. In this way, we will see the application ... Read more

A detailed description of how to incorporate natural zeolite into a tomato seedbed and preserve it until the plants are transplanted into the ground.

zeolado (zeolite olive oil), being organically grown, is rich in polyphenols and therefore has powerful antioxidant properties. Chemical analysis of zeolado reveals 197 mg/kg of total polyphenols (as caffeic acid), a figure that meets ultra-premium specifications, as it must exceed the minimum permissible limit of 130 mg/kg. It is well known that olive oil acts as a natural and deeply moisturising penetrating cream for cell regeneration. An additional benefit of zeolite oil is that it contains no heavy metals, and consequently its quality for the skin is even higher. It is therefore important to realise that the simultaneous use of ... Read more

Given the latest developments in the olive oil sector, it is even more important for Greece to invest in quality in order to make a difference. All production methods that result in bulk oil will, little by little, become less and less efficient whilst simultaneously becoming more costly. When the ‘extra virgin’ category was introduced, many did not give it the attention it deserved and were subsequently forced to scramble to keep up with developments. Now, with the introduction of the new ‘Ultra Premium’ category, many remain indifferent, whilst some are already making a difference and beginning to see the ... Read more

Zeolife.gr is organising an information session on the use of natural zeolite in agriculture and livestock farming. The topics to be covered are as follows: What is zeolite? What properties does it have? What are its applications? How is it used in agriculture? Is it compatible with the use of fertilisers? Is it compatible with organic farming methods? Can it be used in greenhouses? How is it applied in livestock farming? Which of its characteristics play a role in these applications? How does it affect the environment and human health? At the end, there will be time for questions and ... Read more

When we consider the fundamental problems that exist, particularly as regards farmers, it is difficult to understand the delay in the Thessalian Plain regarding the use of zeolite. In the Peloponnese and Crete, there has been tremendous growth in this area, because many farmers have realised the benefits it brings to product quality and productivity, meeting high standards that enable strong exports to Europe as well as to Russia. The problem is that the state isn’t helping, and everything relies on private initiatives. Consequently, those who are fighting to change things at a government level are not only wasting energy ...
