🌱 Vyvire is here to help you with Efficient Recycling: The Key to Sustainable Environmental Impact 🌍 To truly minimize environmental impacts, recycling systems must efficiently convert organic waste into 70-80% biogas and 20-30% nutrients. The secret lies in how effectively we utilize resources and optimize time—because when stoichiometry and mass balance are disturbed, these systems can turn into significant sources of pollution. 🔑 Key factors for success: 1️⃣ Efficient use of resources and balanced feedstocks. 2️⃣ Optimized retention times and controlled operating conditions. 3️⃣ A focus on stoichiometry and mass balance to ensure sustainability. 💡 A well-optimized system doesn’t just reduce waste—it creates value by generating clean energy and nutrient-rich by-products for agriculture. The future is about turning problems into opportunities. 🌟 Let’s work together to build smarter recycling systems for a cleaner, greener planet. 🌍♻️ #Sustainability Vision #CircularEconomy Vigor #RecyclingInnovation Venture = Vyvire

Many of us are unaware of the vital role silicon plays in crop health and nutrient balance. In the article linked below, Dr. Wendy Zellner, Ph. D. of Zellner Research Solutions, LLC explains the importance of silicon fertilization in agriculture, and how Silica X-TREME® from Crop Excellence® has the potential to protect yields. Silicon clearly demonstrates improvements in plants, especially under suboptimal growing conditions, yet its exact role in plant nutrition is vague. Above all, silicon protects yield potential and improves crop quality. Silicon achieves this by enhancing water and nutrient use efficiencies while boosting defense mechanisms that protect against environmental and biological stress.

INNOVATING TOGETHER CBN is capturing significant interest, while CBT and CBL are emerging with promising health and wellness applications. Traditionally, extracting these rare cannabinoids naturally from hemp posed challenges, leading processors to rely on chemical conversions for kilogram-scale production. UNTIL NOW - Botanically refined CBN, CBL and CBT are non-synthetic and refined without catalysts or acids, satisfying consumer-led demands and providing acceptable alternatives to states prohibiting synthetic/alternative cannabinoids. #CBN #CBL #CBT #Hemp #hempprocessors #Cannabinoids Contact us for COAs and bulk pricing - [email protected] Read our blog on botanical refinement for more details - https://lnkd.in/gjcYi3FP
