Solvents
This category focuses on the selection, use, and management of solvents in botanical extraction. Ethanol, hexane, greener alternatives, supercritical CO2, everything is here. Get all the updates on solvent recovery systems, innovations in solvent reuse practices, and just-in solvent technologies. We focus on the advantages and limitations of each solvent type, and most importantly — their impact on extract quality and environmental sustainability.
