ABOUT US
We believe in new ways to do and conduct business, driving practices that are not only sustainable and innovative, but also thoughtful, ethical, and based on shared values.
Through biotechnology, we are committed to contributing to the New Economy, creating alternatives to replace traditional, non-sustainable inputs and processes, and fostering perpetuity and long-term profitability in the agricultural, food, personal care, hygiene, and pharmaceutical industries.
WHAT MOVES APOENA AND GIVES A MEANING TO OUR JOURNEY IS BIOTECHNOLOGY
MESSAGE FROM OUR OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Apoena Biotech was born from a question posed by customers: “is this a natural product?” However, regardless of a product being categorized as natural due to its origin, there is an additional question we should ask: “is this product sustainable?”
The fact is that not all products from natural sources are necessarily sustainable.
Apoena Biotech was created to address such pain points. We are dedicated to acting on these points.
