IMPACT
Restoring Balance Through Biology
Reducing environmental impact while improving the effectiveness of pest control across ecosystems.
A System-Level Challenge
Invasive species and resistant pests are driving ecological and economic damage at a global scale—impacting biodiversity, agriculture, water systems, and infrastructure.
Traditional chemical approaches have helped manage these challenges, but they often introduce new risks, including environmental harm, resistance, and increasing regulatory and consumer pressure.
ISC’s approach works differently.
By developing solutions from naturally derived compounds, ISC aims to deliver effective control while aligning with the systems these products are designed to protect.
Protecting Ecosystems
Invasive species disrupt natural ecosystems by outcompeting native species and altering food webs. They are the second largest cause of biodiversity decline after land use change.
ISC’s targeted biological solutions are designed to control invasive populations while minimizing impact on non-target organisms—helping restore ecological balance.
Safeguarding Infrastructure and Resources
Invasive species such as mussels and algae damage water infrastructure, disrupt ecosystems, and impact water quality.
ISC’s solutions are designed to control these species without damaging equipment or introducing harmful byproducts.
Strengthening Food Systems
Herbicide-resistant weeds are expanding rapidly, reducing crop yields and increasing costs for growers.
ISC is developing biological alternatives designed to address resistance while supporting more sustainable agricultural practices.
Reducing Environmental Impact
Biological solutions have the potential to reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, lowering environmental impact and supporting more sustainable approaches to pest control. Reducing just 1% of chemical herbicides reduces 45,000,000 pounds of synthetic chemicals. Biologicals can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-90% compared to synthetic chemicals, which are fossil fuel intensive.
By working with natural systems, ISC’s platform supports long-term ecosystem health while addressing immediate challenges.
Impact at Scale
Because ISC’s solutions are built on a repeatable platform, their impact extends beyond a single product or use case.
The same approach can be applied across multiple environments—enabling broader, long-term change.
A More Sustainable Path Forward
ISC is advancing solutions designed to meet today’s challenges while supporting the health of natural systems over time.
