Aplantex produces high-value plant active ingredients. These specific plant active ingredients are regularly used worldwide in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and agrifood markets. Despite the fact each mg of said plant active ingredients shows a high price tag, their current commercialization is still driven by the conventional rules of commodity markets.

Aplantex improves the price stability of high-value plant active ingredients.

Traditional commodity market drivers are numerous and can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as:

• Economic expansion: The relationship between commodity prices and economic expansion is frequently tight, especially in emerging nations where commodity exports are a key source of income;
• Supply and demand: Following the fundamental principles of supply and demand, prices tend to rise when there is a shortage of a good or service and high consumer demand, and to fall when there is an abundance of it and low consumer demand;
• Weather patterns: The production and supply of commodities can be significantly impacted by weather patterns. For instance, droughts or floods may have an impact on agricultural productivity, causing price changes;
• Political upheaval, war, trade agreements, and other geopolitical occurrences can all affect commodity prices by altering supply chains or influencing consumer demand for particular goods;
• Technological developments: New technologies frequently increase efficiency and reduce costs in production processes, which can have an impact on the price of commodities;
• ESG Compliance. This recent trend has become increasingly important to investors and corporate shareholders, who view ESG compliance as an indicator of a company’s long-term sustainability and potential for success.

Aplantex’s proprietary manufacturing process removes the rollercoaster effect of all of the above 6 drivers on the price of high-value plant active ingredients.

Aplantex’s industrial green biotech platform will produce abundant quantities of the phytochemical ingredients required for many commercial biopharmaceutical, cosmetics, and agrifood products. Aplantex’s photosynthetic phytoreplicators generate biomass using only light, atmospheric CO2 and dissolved mineral nutrients. The phytoreplicators accumulate atmospheric CO2 up to 40% of their dry weight and are cultivated year-round in a controlled environment using renewable hydroelectric energy. Each production line at Aplantex will reduce emissions by about 90 tons of CO2/year compared to the competing manufacturing processes currently supplying the market.

The future looks good!
