Linnea SA manufacturing facilities, GMP approved for API production, operate continuously 7/7 and 24/24 and include, among other things, 1 raw materials preparation department, 2 extraction lines, 3 synthesis departments, 4 drying rooms and a spray dryer system (in an ISO 8 classified area).

All facilities comply with the ATEX standard and are equipped with the necessary safety systems, continually updated according to the state of the art.

Green Spirit
The raw plant materials used by Linnea may be sourced from the wild or from farms operating in accordance with GAP standards. The use of pesticides/fungicides, fertilizers and water is limited to the strict minimum necessary and phytosanitary products must conform to sector standards (Pharmacopea). Thus, product quality as well as the environment in which plants are cultivated are both protected, decreasing environmental impact and ensuring supplies over the long term.

Through periodical audits and continual monitoring Linnea ensures compliance with this procedure. Logistics are optimised to limit energy use both during transportation and storage. Materials handling is limited to that strictly necessary and performed using eco-friendly carriers; perishable products are stored in latest generation gas refrigerators that do not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Linnea’s manufacturing processes are continually reviewed with a focus on the environment so as to employ the solvents and reagents with the least environmental impact and, through recycling/ exploitation processes, the same solvents are used multiple times thus reducing VOC atmospheric emissions to levels clearly below legal limits. The management of industrial waste is also optimised. Waste products are exploited where possible through methane conversion/composting processes for plants, waste to energy processing for chemical wastes and the recycling of metals.

Last but not least, the use of water has been reduced to the minimum (closed loop cooling systems, recycling of process water) and industrial wastewater, initially pre-treated at the internal purification plant, is piped to state purification facilities for final treatment.
