Fungi is
the Solution

Mycelium is the root system for fungi and nature’s great decomposer. When added to the cat-hole PACT Mycelium Tabs break down poop and kill harmful bacteria.

Mycoremediation

A field that uses fungi to decontaminate soil. It has applications in wildfire restoration, agricultural run-off, and more.

The PACT System®

Too Much Poop In The Backcountry

The mycelium in PACT Tabs breaks poop down faster, kills pathogens like E. coli, and converts poop into nutrients for other organisms.
