Aplantex

Aplantex produces plant-based polyphenols for the cosmetics, natural health and nutraceutical sectors. Production takes place in patented photosynthetic phytoreplicators, continuously and all year round, and delivers certified compounds. It replaces a supply of plant extracts that depends on harvests and import chains.

Today, a manufacturer that needs a plant-based active compound buys it from an extractor whose raw material comes from a crop and a season. The available quantity varies with the harvest, the supply chain stretches over several intermediaries, and transportation weighs on the environmental footprint of the finished product.

The product

The team is designing photosynthetic phytoreplicators that grow the plant material and extract the active compounds on site. The process runs continuously, which decouples supply from the farming calendar. The customer stays in control of its formulation; Aplantex guarantees the ingredient's certification and origin.

What it changes in practice

• Supply stops depending on the seasons, because the phytoreplicators produce all year round.
• The distance between production and the manufacturer shrinks, because growing and extraction happen locally.
• The manufacturer works with a certified polyphenol, because production takes place in a phytoreplicator and not in a field.
