PRO BUSINESS AND PRO CANNABIS?
Cannabis is indeed a lucrative business. Cannabis companies need to find ways to optimize profits with every yield. One way is by eliminating evaporation all along the supply chain. Cannabis is like any other organic material. After harvest, cannabis starts to deteriorate.
LOSS OF MOISTURE = LOSS OF $
Why? Flower is sold by weight. Cannabis that is cured, stored and packaged, between 55% and 65% RH retains its weight and potency. ASTM International standards specifically recommend storing cannabis within a target aW (water activity) of 0.55 to 0.65. Boveda, the only salt-based humidity control sachet on the market, achieves this recommended range quickly and precisely.
