Carbon Trust Certifies Seed Hawk Agricultural Equipment

Seed Hawk is the first agricultural equipment company in the world to receive Carbon Trust’s carbon footprint certification.

Seed Hawk manufactures zero-tillage seeding systems that are sold in Canada, the US, Australia, and Eastern and Western Europe.

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) conducted life cycle carbon footprints of three Seed Hawk products and submitted the information to the Carbon Trust for independent certification.

The Seed Hawk 45 & XL Series toolbars, with and without Sectional Control technology, and the 30 Series product line have received certification, which indicates how much carbon is used in the production and use of the equipment.

Last July, the Carbon Trust launched the Green Business Directory to help businesses find suppliers of energy efficiency equipment and low carbon technologies.
