Aplantex sustainably harnesses the power of polyphenols

Aplantex’s innovative green biotechnology industrial platform is designed to locally produce essential plant-based molecules used by the cosmetics, natural health and pharmaceutical industries. The production of polyphenols and flavonoid extracts such as Apigenin, Orientin, Vitexin and Luteolin is our short-term priority for their high-demand antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-ageing properties. Our platform uses a process that exploits the DNA of selected plants, our proprietary photosynthetic plant replicators, to efficiently clone biomass in a tightly controlled indoor environment. Our production process includes multiple input loop reuse, is powered by renewable energy, generates no waste, and significantly shortens existing supply chains. As a result, we can guarantee optimum quality while offering a greener alternative not only to agriculture, but also to conventional chemical synthesis and contemporary fermentation-based biotechnology, which are the current sources of these sought-after molecules. Our process uses no agricultural land, is immune to seasonal cycles and does not require the intensive use of fertilisers and/or pesticides, or complex industrial infrastructures with their usual GHG footprint. We therefore share Symrise’s vision of optimising sustainable development initiatives.
