In line with California’s dedication to sustainability, we are committed to contributing to the burgeoning industry by offering a service for cultivators, manufacturers, dispensaries, and testing laboratories alike, that sustainably renders cannabis waste and promotes overall industrial hygiene?
As January 1st approaches, operators within the cannabis industry are rushing to apply for their temporary and/or annual state licenses, essential to operate legally from the beginning of the new year.
