Our mission.
We are on a mission to combine a new sustainable food technology
with Scandinavian design to bring nature back into your home.
From retired fishing nets to fresh herbs.
We use upcycled plastic from various Danish companies for Kurt. The green plastic is from old fishing nets that are cleaned and recycled and the white plastic is from scrapped, unused plastic boxes.
Over 5 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the environment and ocean every year and around 11% of this waste come from the maritime industry, being fishing nets, trawls, ropes and boxes. Instead of letting the plastic end up as ocean waste, it is recycled, and we give it a new life with Kurt.
Repurposed oak wood.
We use leftover oak wood from a local Danish table production. All the pieces that are too small to use for tables or shelves, we use. By repurposing the wood and not letting it go to waste, no new trees are cut down to make Kurt.
Reducing food waste.
+50% of all vegetables and herbs are thrown out every year. In Denmark, 50% of all Danes actually try to grow herbs at home, but many find it difficult to keep the plants fresh.
That is why we made Kurt.
Med et selvvandingssystem og et LED-vækstlys vil Kurt tage sig af dine krydderurter og få dem til at trives. Alt du skal gøre er at vande en eller to gange om måneden - det er det hele.
No more wasting herbs with Kurt in your home.
Local production.
We have chosen to partner with local suppliers that have sustainability at the heart of what they do.
To minimise our carbon footprint we manufacture the products in Denmark to put supply chain transport to a minimum.
Our story.
NordicGrow became a reality when our founder Peter realized how sustainable technology was taking over the food industry: Hydroponics made growing plants and herbs super fast with 90% less water, vertical farming was feeding cities, and NASA was using all of this to grow plants in space.
The goal is to find a way to combine these technologies to grow plants in the comfort of your own home, fast and easy. That’s how Kurt came to life.
Kurt is our first design but many more will come.
Partners.
We have partnered with various Danish companies and organisations to bring out the best possible version of Kurt.

From fishing nets to fresh herbs.
We were inspired to create a product that shows characteristics of our Danish heritage.
With a focus on design and quality, trendsetting technology and a green consciousness, we brought Kurt to life.
