This alternative to current waste management methods and conventional fertilizers helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions in different segments of the food supply chain while increasing farmers resiliency, disrupting the fertilizer industry with a circular economy.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.circulusagtech.com\/\">Learn more about Circulus Agtech Solution Inc.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-396dc85 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"396dc85\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4768425\" data-id=\"4768425\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6caff5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6caff5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-1024x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-93352\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023-239x239.png 239w, https:\/\/spring.is\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Mathieu-van-Gent-CEO-Truxweb-Inc-Qleantech-Quebec-2023.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ac5c21\" data-id=\"9ac5c21\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccf4070 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ccf4070\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Truxweb Inc<\/h3><h5><em>Mathieu van Gent, Founder &amp; CEO<\/em><\/h5><div><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/div><p>Truxweb is an online logistic platform tailored for the needs of small to medium sized business.
