Regeneration
Nature knows no waste and can only appear wasteful for this reason. In it, everything moves in a constant cycle from which nothing is lost. The foundation of ricion AG is based on the holistic principles of natural cycles.
The “end-of-pipe” mentality that has been imposed on “our” blue planet since the beginning of industrialisation is neither ecologically, socially nor economically sensible. It’s time to break new ground. “Making the world a little better” – that’s not enough for us! Organised as a private company, we also pursue goals that are geared towards the common good and our aim is not “just” to alleviate, but to regenerate. In order to achieve genuine “regeneration”, we strive for holistic material flow management in the areas of soil, water, biogenic residues, regenerative agriculture and land use in the sense of a comprehensive bioeconomy.
ricion has developed nature-based, efficient and resource-saving key technologies and processes for regeneration. With the legendary “Terra Preta” and the associated carbonisation, the high-performance soil filters and our combined ricionoase21 system, we implement projects for a forward-looking blue-green infrastructure in climate, environmental and resource protection.

The municipality of Riegel am Kaiserstuhl on the outskirts of the university city of Freiburg is under strong settlement pressure. Due to the limited availability of land for further building areas and the high demand for living space, the local council has decided to implement new forward-looking planning and design approaches on a total area of 7 hectares. An ambitious neighborhood development concept was created on the basis of a perspective workshop with citizens, which was subsequently deepened by dedicated specialist planning offices and combined into a holistic development approach.
ricion has a key role to play here, namely the development and planning implementation of the core issues of a blue-green infrastructure. This includes forward-looking rainwater management in line with the “sponge city principle”, the separate collection and treatment of grey and black water, a grey water recycling plant with a useful water plant greenhouse and an energy center with carbonization, a local heating network and Terra Preta production. This will generate a variety of synergies and regional value creation models, which will realize a holistic systemic district development in terms of circular economy, bioeconomy and national water strategy.
