Will grass juice replace road salt?
A Dutch trial is exploring the use of grass juice as a potential replacement for road salt, aiming for a more environmentally-friendly solution. At MOSES, we fully support sustainable innovations, but when it comes to road safety, sea salt remains the optimal choice.

The Case for Sea Salt
Sea salt has been harvested for centuries using only the sun, sea, and wind, making it one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable solutions available. Unlike grass juice, sea salt requires minimal processing and energy, and it can be used immediately to combat ice and snow on roads.
The Limitations of Grass Juice
Processing grass juice into a practical road salt substitute involves high energy consumption and complex logistics. The low salt concentration in grass juice means it must be transported from multiple locations and fortified with additional salt to be effective. This makes it far less efficient, economic, and sustainable than naturally harvested sea salt.
MOSES Commitment
For road safety today and in the future, MOSES firmly opts for sea salt as the most ecological, cost-effective, and high-performance solution for ice control. By choosing sea salt, we ensure safe roads while staying true to our sustainability values.
