Agra Wool International Group from The Netherlands, is worldwide known for their substrates and water absorbing natural rock wool products for growers. After extensive testing with the product’s density, Agra Wool in 2018 has developed a product that has the same characteristics as floral foam in terms of use; Sideau®. In contrast to floral foam, that is made from oil derivatives and phenol resin – which is plastic – Sideau® is fully biodegradable. Therefore Sideau® is perfectly suited for florists and flower arrangers who want to use an fully environmental friendly base for their creations.
Sideau® is made of Earthwool®, a natural product made from basalt, a volcanic igneous rock. In addition, Sideau® is made with Ecose®, a natural binder, free from acetylates and formaldehyde’s. In the composition of the binder, therefore, petrochemical raw materials make way for vegetable raw materials like sugar beet or cane sugar. By heating, the material caramelizes hence the brown color. During the production of Earthwool® , seventy percent less energy is required than in the production of traditional yellow rockwool. Sideau® is noticeably softer but still very dense, does not emit any odor or discoloration in the water. Sideau® is therefore friendly to people and the environment. It does not crumble and is therefore pleasant to process.
The product name Sideau® is derived from the first name of the owner of Agra Wool, which is Sido. Furthermore the name consists of two phrases: Si and d’Eau, which explains one of the main characteristics of the product: it absorbs and holds water perfectly. Even better than the traditional floral foam. So, yes, water!
Sideau® is going to change the world of environmentally conscious florists and flower arrangers and for sure is the 100% biodegradable floral foam alternative.
*Sideau is affiliated with the Barometer Duurzame Bloemist (Sustainable Florist) initiative

𝗝𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗔 𝗕𝗢𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗘𝗠&𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰
Janita Boers is hét Bloem&Blad talent van 2024. Samen met de twee andere finalisten Jules Cox en Scharissa Blomsma streed Janita tijdens de Bloem&Blad-dag op zondag 23 juni om de titel.
Als officiële partner van Bloem&Blad was 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗨® van 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗮-𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 er natuurlijk ook bij op deze spannende en inspirerende dag. Tijdens deze dag hadden de bezoekers de mogelijkheid om met 𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗨® (het 100% natuurijk alternatief voor steekschuim) te werken. Dit zorgde ervoor dat heel veel mooie kunstwerkjes gemaakt door de creatieve bezoekers van onze stand, mee naar huis zijn gegaan.

Wij hebben genoten en hopen jullie allemaal weer snel te zien.
