MOTTO : “ There ’ s Nothing Better ”
Tell us a bit about how your company got started .
Several years ago , longtime gardener Travis Rypkema created The Enhancer CO 2 dispersal canister after trying several other natural CO 2 products on the market . The Enhancer was developed in his spare time from his full-time job at the local lumber mill of a town in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia , Canada . Once Travis had the first version of what is now known as The Enhancer , he enlisted my help to expand the product ’ s presence . The two of us formed TNB Naturals Inc . together in 2013 .
Tell us about your premier product , The Enhancer .
The Enhancer is a highly effective , user-activated CO 2 canister that delivers a high rate of CO 2 , comparable to a costly CO 2 system . The Enhancer ’ s unique features include its ability to slow the release of CO 2 during the night cycle , improving overall plant health and final yield . The Enhancer has a three-year shelf life and generates some of the highest ppms in the all-natural category of CO 2 products . In a 12x12-foot growroom , gardeners can expect to hit anywhere between
1,200 and 1,500 ppm , depending on their set-up , for up to three weeks . On top of this , The Enhancer is made from a combination of allnatural , biodegradable ingredients and it ’ s packaged in a recyclable bottle — in fact , when we were first starting out , we were actually using recycled bottles .
How does it benefit the environment ?
As much as 40 per cent of all household waste is typically made up of plastic from packaging , containers , and other items . We think all manufacturers need to be sensitive to this issue and do all they can to reduce environmentally harmful packaging . To this end , TNB has been using a plastic container that can be recycled . This is much more beneficial to the environment than using propane or natural gas .
