Eden Lakes' Commitment to Cleaner Waters
At Eden Lakes, we take pride in being at the forefront of environmental restoration and innovation. Our pioneering product, TimberChar™, represents a significant advancement over traditional methods of lake cleanup and water body restoration. Born from a necessity to provide high-quality, reliable solutions in the environmental sector, TimberChar™ is the result of over 12 years of research, development, and an investment surpassing $30 million.
​
Why TimberChar™?
TimberChar™ emerged from the need to distinguish our high-grade product from commonly available biochars, which varied significantly in quality and effectiveness. Choosing TimberChar™ ensures you are selecting a premium, tested, and proven product. Our use of exclusively recycled timber, sourced from environmentally conscious means such as beetle-killed pine trees or reclaimed wood pellets, ensures each batch of TimberChar™ is not only sustainable but superior in quality.
​
Unparalleled Certification and Assurance
TimberChar™ is proud to be the only char product in the United States that has received approvals and certifications from the EPA and USDA, along with an organic certification. This recognition is a testament to the consistent quality and safety of TimberChar™, positioning it as a leader in the environmental solutions industry.
​
Cutting-Edge Technology
The breakthrough in TimberChar™ technology involves a patented production process that combines high-temperature fast pyrolysis with a prolonged exposure in a partial vacuum. This innovative method yields a product with unique properties, including a vast surface area—470 square yards per gram—and dual charge capacities (CEC and AEC), allowing it to effectively attract and bind various pollutants, including both nutrients and salts.
​
Practical Applications and Real-World Impact
The efficiency of TimberChar™ is not just theoretical but has proven practical applications. It's capable of removing a broad spectrum of pollutants from water bodies, such as phosphates, nitrates, salts, microplastics, heavy metals, PFAS, and other commercial pollutants. This not only restores the ecological balance of lakes but also enhances their recreational and residential appeal. Residents of lakes treated with TimberChar™ have reported significant improvements in water quality and property values, affirming the effectiveness of our product.
​
Our Commitment to Transparency and Environmental Stewardship
Eden Lakes is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and environmental responsibility. In cooperation with the EGLE, we voluntarily submit our used TimberChar™ Nutrient Harvesting filters for rigorous laboratory testing to ensure that all substances removed from the water bodies are thoroughly documented. This transparency underscores our commitment to not just improving water bodies but doing so in a responsible and sustainable manner.
​
A Legacy of Innovation and Global Reach
The effectiveness and reliability of TimberChar™ are reflected in its global adoption, with exports to Denmark and pending orders from Australia and New Zealand. Our extensive portfolio of patents and ongoing innovations continue to set industry benchmarks for environmental restoration technologies.
