French company Toopi Organics sets up a branch in Wallonia to recycle human urine into biostimulants
Toopi Organics has opened a branch in Liège. The aim is to intensify the collection of human urine in Belgium, transforming it into high-performance, environmentally-friendly biostimulants. Ultimately, the plan is to open a plant in Wallonia.
Wallonia attracts a new company to its territory. Toopi Organics, a French company pioneering the recycling of human urine into biostimulants for agriculture, announced the creation of a branch in Wallonia at the end of 2024.
The Grand Poste in Liège is now the headquarters of Toopi Organics Belgium, symbolizing the importance of the city in Toopi Organics' expansion strategy and its commitment to sustainable innovation. This location, a veritable ecosystem of innovative companies, reflects Toopi Organics' values and its desire to be part of a dynamic, local and inspiring network.
Belgium has thus become a priority market for Toopi Organics, benefiting from favorable conditions for ecological innovation and strong support from the agricultural sector for sustainable biostimulation solutions. This location, in partnership with SCAM, has enabled Toopi Organics products to be tested and fine-tuned directly with local farmers, whose positive feedback has contributed to continuous product improvement.

Toopi Organics has also benefited from the support of the Wallonia Export & Investment Agency since the company decided to expand in Wallonia. “We are in contact with AWEX for various services such as subsidy searches. These services are very useful,” comments François Gerard, Toopi Organics Benelux Director.
The growing popularity of Toopi Organics' biostimulants in Belgium has enabled the company to expand rapidly in Wallonia, marking a key stage in its international expansion. This dynamism bears witness to the growing interest in innovative solutions for valorizing local resources, in a context where sustainability and waste reduction are becoming essential imperatives.
Toopi Organics' Belgian subsidiary's mission is to intensify the collection and processing of human urine in Belgium, transforming it into high-performance, environmentally-friendly biostimulants. It will also work to raise awareness among agricultural players of the importance of this circular approach, and of the effectiveness of Toopi Organics' solutions in reducing the use of chemical inputs while preserving the soil.
In Belgium, Toopi Organics is planning to set up a plant to recycle urine into agricultural products. “We have a project in Lessines for 2026. This project is still on the drawing board, because we want to recycle urine as close as possible to where we collect it,” concludes François Gerard.
