The circular process of production

Ecological and social responsibility

Sanicula Co LLC has a completely circular process of production; from the manufacturing of reproductive material to the foundation of plantations, the use of own mechanization for the purposes of preparation of the soil, planting, treatment, maintenance of planted surfaces, harvest of healthful herbs and treatment of biomass that becomes the essential oils.

By processing the rest of the biomass after the distillation, a new by-product emerges, which is bio pellet. It is used in its own operation of distillation. Ash, as a residue made by burning the bio pellet, is used as an organic fertilizer.

When the “Innovative approach to production of pellet out of curative herbs from plantations” project was effectuated after the distillation, the strategy for management of principles of sustainable development was being affirmed through lowering the carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, implementing the concept of “zero waste”, which endeavours completely eliminating the waste from the process of production, so we can apply modern ecological innovations to function as an example of social responsibility and environmental protection.
