BioExx believes that the key to corporate sustainability lies in focussing on minimizing carbon emissions, land use and water use within an economic framework that maximizes corporate growth and profitability.

BioExx is committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and to exploring new and innovative ways to continually increase its efficiencies of food production.

The BioExx process and technology is environmentally friendly and compares favorably to conventional commercial-scale extraction processes. The BioExx solvents are significantly less toxic resulting in reduced health and safety issues associated with handling solvents in our operating plants. In addition, the solvents have GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) standing in their use as food ingredients.

Solvent Emissions - the BioExx system is a closed -loop system whereby no solvents or other air emissions are generated from the process. The low boiling temperature of solvents allows for easier recovery and reduced emission when compared to traditional solvent extraction facilities.

GRAS standing of solvents - the BioExx process uses a mixture of solvents one of which is used as a propellant in asthma inhalers due to its ultra low toxicity. Both components have GRAS standing as well as significantly reduced toxicity over the n-hexane, predominantly used by the Canola and Soybean Industries.

Lower Heating Requirements - the BioExx process requires heating marginally above ambient temperatures whereas conventional extraction processes require heating in excess of 100°C This difference in operating temperatures results in much lower emissions.

Health and Safety - the solvents used by BioExx are significantly less flammable than conventional extraction solvents. The closed extraction and solvent recovery system, reduced flammability and significantly lower toxicity results in a safer working and operating environment for employees.
