Sustainable development
Through continuous local production of valuable plant-based molecules in a controlled environment based on efficient use and recycling of water, nutrients and green energy, we help reduce the pressure on the world’s ecosystems.
Our substantial contribution to the circular economy
Striking improvements
Photosynthetic phytoreplicators from Aplantex capture and assimilate atmospheric CO2, and their growth is supported by light and the mineral salts dissolved in the water. The phytoreplicators store up to 40% of their dry weight in carbon from atmospheric CO2. As such, they represent a more environmentally responsible way of producing bioactive molecules than traditional biotechnology platforms based on micro-organisms, or the conventional chemical industry. They also allow the sugars and peptones needed for traditional biotechnology processes to be redirected to human and animal nutrition.
Environmental impact
Our unique, exclusive and customizable process for producing molecules of interest for the cosmetics, natural health, agrifood and pharmaceutical industries respects ecological constraints, helping our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
