Processing

Traditional cannabis preservation methods like glass jars or plastic bags fail to address the complex biochemical processes that lead to degradation. New packaging solutions create a controlled microclimate to maintain an ideal relative humidity between 58% and 62% and manage gas exchange to prevent degradation. This technology benefits cultivators with greater product stability, processors with higher-quality starting material, and consumers who receive a consistent product.
