MIAMI, FL, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenX Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:RENX) today provided an update on the advancement of its previously disclosed sustainable growing media initiative. The initiative leverages advanced milling and materials-engineering technology from Microtec Development & Holdings ("Microtec"), a company that was acquired by Ara Partners earlier this year. The Company maintains an exclusive license from Microtec for use of the technology in biomass applications in the US.

Technology-Enabled Platform Designed for Scalable Deployment

Microtec's processing and systems-integration capabilities enable RenX to move from single-site production toward a repeatable, multi-facility development model. Microtec operates independently of RenX and was acquired by Ara Partners earlier this year, providing Microtec with expanded capital resources and operational support.

"This platform meaningfully expands what RenX can deliver to customers," said David Villarreal, Chief Executive Officer of RenX Enterprises. "Microtec's technology allows us to engineer consistent, high-performance growing media while maintaining a scalable operating model."

Engineered Growing Media Built for Performance and Consistency

The growing media platform converts locally sourced green and organic waste into engineered substrates designed for commercial growers, nurseries, landscapers, and consumer brands. The products are intended to provide a domestic, scalable alternative to traditional substrates such as Canadian and Florida peat, coconut coir, and hydrafiber, while maintaining consistent performance characteristics.

RenX's growing media is produced from nutrient-rich compost that is processed and engineered to achieve consistent structure, porosity, water retention, aeration, and nutrient availability. Unlike peat-based or imported substrates, the product is locally sourced and manufactured, reducing exposure to global supply disruptions and environmentally sensitive extraction practices.

Environmental and Supply-Chain Benefits

By displacing peat-based and long-haul imported substrates, RenX's growing media delivers several practical advantages for customers, including reduced reliance on peat harvested from sensitive wetland ecosystems, lower transportation emissions through regional sourcing and manufacturing, circular use of organic waste by diverting material from landfills into productive agricultural inputs, and improved resilience through domestic and regionally distributed supply chains.

Positioned for Multi-Facility Expansion

With Microtec's technology platform, RenX is positioned to replicate production facilities across multiple regions, supporting proximity to feedstock sources and customer markets. Initial commercial deployments are expected to begin in 2026, with additional facilities and region-specific formulations planned over time.
