• OriginClear’s EWS, AOx technologies key components in success of manure-treatment pilot system
• Depuporc’s ground-breaking system solves major expansion barrier for European hog farmers and enables hundreds of farms in Spain to produce clean manure cake and water
• Proprietary system fills vital need in world’s fourth-largest pork-producing country

OriginClear Inc. (OTC: OCLN) and its Spanish partner, Depuporc®, recently showcased the company’s manure-treatment pilot system, which fully integrates OriginClear’s Electro Water Separation™ (EWS) and Advanced Oxidation™ (AOx) technologies (http://ibn.fm/o18SU).

The exclusive partnership began in March 2017 when Spanish farming equipment company Montajes Longares determined to commercialize its patented Depuporc pig-manure slurry cleanup system and licensed OriginClear’s EWS to help clarify and sanitize the slurry for water reuse and fertilizer applications (http://ibn.fm/hT4Y4). Fast forward to today, and the system is up and running. OriginClear president and CEO Riggs Eckelberry visited Barcelona last week to “witness a mobile-treatment system that can travel to the hundreds of farms in Spain and process their lagoons into profitable and ‘clean’ manure cake and clean water for use in cleaning and other farming chores.”

The system is filling a vital need in the country, which is the fourth-largest pork producer in the world after China, the United States and Germany. The country’s production is expanding at a record rate, experiencing extraordinary growth over the last five years, with increased exports by 47% in volume and 36% in value between 2014 and 2018 (http://ibn.fm/wJ7ax). The growth, in part, is attributed to the country’s pork producers’ commitment to quality and variety, and their ability to adapt to trends and consumers’ changing preferences.

Unfortunately, with increasing pork production comes increasing manure “lagoons,” which have become a growing environmental concern. While the lagoons serve as a useful initial treatment, they are generating more manure than can be easily spread on nearby fields. Montajes Longares identified a possible answer: produce pressed “cake” and clean water, a zero-waste solution that is both environmentally responsible and potentially financially beneficial to farm operators.

With that solution in mind, the Depuporc system was designed – a system that relies heavily on OriginClear. “Without our technology, it is extremely difficult to deal with the high-solids content of manure effluent, which clogs filters and membranes easily,” Eckelberry stated in a news release.

The Spain project focuses on unlocking European pork producer’s primary barrier to expansion: the growing and unresolved issue of ammonia saturation of Spanish lands brought about by the country’s historic handling of swine manure. However, OriginClear’s technologies and Depuporc’s innovative system project far wider applications to all animal farming in not only Europe, but the Americas, China and across the world. These industries are all hindered by the same issues which OriginClear’s technology embraces. Animal effluent treatment is only one of numerous innovative water-treatment solutions that OriginClear is involved in. OriginClear offers breakthrough water-treatment and conveyance products that effectively improve the quality of the planet’s waters by returning them to their original and clear condition. To accomplish this, OriginClear deploys advanced technologies at the point of use with modular, prefabricated systems that create durable assets and water independence for industry, commerce and agriculture. The company’s stated mission is to empower this global movement with modular water treatment and conveyance products that enable water independence and help make clean water available for all.

• Xalles entered revenue sharing relationship with automated cryptocurrency trading engine ATN Trading, enabling customers to link their Binance or Coinbase accounts to the engine to trade many currencies
• According to Q2 2019 results, the company has generated revenue for fifth consecutive quarters
• Non-cash transactions expected to top $1 trillion by 2023, as cryptocurrency systems are becoming increasingly popular

Heeding expert forecasts, fintech holding company Xalles Holdings Inc. (OTC: XALL) is banking on the bullish cryptocurrency global trend as it takes steps to perfect its distribution of automated crypto trading solutions and make cryptocurrency trading more accessible. Since decentralized systems are gaining in popularity given their unique advantage of not being directly impacted by government and bank policies, a growing number of major financial institutions have started working on their own cryptocurrency strategies.

To make the most of the growing market, Xalles has partnered with All The Numbers Trading Company, LLC (d/b/a “ATN Trading”) to enhance distribution of the latter’s powerful, automated crypto trading solution. In September, Xalles announced an agreement between ATN Trading and its wholly owned subsidiary, Xalles Financial Services Inc., according to which the companies will share revenue from the distribution of ATN’s crypto trading engine (http://ibn.fm/8wLxn).

The agreement comes at a time when central banks and governments are making efforts to implement policies that stimulate spending to put off another recession. World leaders like U.S. President Donald Trump are proposing negative interest rates, which basically means people will no longer be earning interest on deposits but paying interest to hold fiat currency savings in a bank instead. This policy was introduced briefly following the banking crisis of 2008. It is not without its critics. Oswald Gruebel, who has led Switzerland’s two biggest banks, stated that negative interest rates mean money is not “worth anything anymore.” Apparently fiat money is very vulnerable to centralized bank control, which paints a good picture for a decentralized system such as Bitcoin, because it wouldn’t be susceptible to direct influence by bankers and governments (http://ibn.fm/a8caT).

Cryptocurrencies are traded 24/7 and can be highly volatile as a result. ATN Trading’s automated engine makes it possible to trade cryptos quickly and efficiently. Customers can link their Coinbase or Binance accounts to the engine to trade any number of currencies, and they pay a fee only if they make a profit.

The cryptocurrency trend behind alt coin adoption is a result of widespread awareness of the pitfalls of global debt imbalance, the benefits stemming from mobile payment platforms, and the occasionally poor performance of other asset classes (http://ibn.fm/nzazy). According to Business Insider Intelligence, mobile payment systems can be expected to grow in popularity and become less dependent on cash currencies. Among the consequences of this is that non-cash transactions will surpass one trillion by 2023 (http://ibn.fm/TG2Ze).

This trend is also due to a growing need for broader choice of payment tools in general, with 75 percent of financial institutions queried in a Global Payments Insight Study declaring themselves in favor of the idea and voicing concern over customer attrition as a result of limited payment options (http://ibn.fm/WUoP4). This issue will result in a larger number of companies considering the possibility of expanding their payment acceptance methods in order to remain competitive and retain their market position.

Xalles plans to make cryptocurrency trading and other related services more accessible to clients for large and small traders. The company is also looking to integrate tokens into its rewards program designs. The fintech holding company is always on the lookout for fintech growth and acquisition opportunities to increase revenue and balance sheet assets. Xalles devises customized approaches to help companies augment their market presence and achieve success in their financial transaction system offerings by providing various levels of investment services and funds.

After recording six consecutive revenue-generating quarters up until the end of Q3 2019, the company expects to achieve profitability in 2020 via consistent revenue growth, strategic acquisitions and fundraising efforts (http://ibn.fm/X1mSp).

• HTC Extraction Systems is turning its distillation technology prowess toward hemp biomass refining for the cannabidiol (CBD) product market
• The company recently reported third quarter financial results showing a year-over-year revenue increase of more than 2.5 times largely due to agri-infrastructure operations, but expects to see new and greater growth as its CBD production takes shape
• The company has completed construction on a 19,000-square-foot facility near Regina, Saskatchewan that will house its quality-assurance testing and product-development laboratories as well as its extraction and formulation-processing operations
• HTC has also recently acquired California-based Kase Farma Inc., an extraction and formulation company in the United States that is currently expanding and upgrading its extraction, refining and processing operations

Saskatchewan, Canada-based HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) saw its revenues grow by more than 2.5 times in year-over-year third-quarter financial results that were reported recently on the heels of news the proprietary extraction systems innovator is expanding its fledgling cannabinoid refining operations from Canada to the U.S. market in California.

HTC’s revenues grew from $1.3 million at the September close of the quarter in 2018 to $3.3 million at the quarter’s end this year, according to the report (http://ibn.fm/t3O4a).

The revenue gains continue to reflect growth in the company’s agri-infrastructure operation, but HTC anticipates significant new potential in the explosive growth of cannabinoid-related industries and is building hemp biomass tolling contracts and extraction facilities to process harvested plants for the cannabidiol (CBD) food and pharmaceutical markets.

The company and its subsidiaries have built more than a decade of experience developing ethanol, solvent and glycol reclamation operations and believe their patented Delta Purification System is now the best available environmental reclaiming technology for the clean energy and biomass extraction industries.

HTC recently announced that it expected new extraction equipment to arrive this month at its recently-completed 19,000-square-foot facility in Port Lajord, 17 miles southeast of Regina’s metropolitan commerce center in Saskatchewan (http://ibn.fm/pb3uj). The extraction and refining facility is undergoing interior completion in order to qualify it as GMP Euro compliant.

The company has also completed construction on its nearby 27,000-square-foot hemp biomass processing and storage facility, to be utilized for the storing of extraction-ready biomass. HTC announced last month that it had entered into an agreement to acquire California-based Kase Farma Inc. as part of HTC’s first foray into a U.S. market for hemp extraction, refining, formulation and distribution products (http://ibn.fm/HboDW).

Kase Farma expects to receive and commission equipment this month that is capable pf processing and distilling 12,000 pounds per day of dried biomass with expected full production in Q1 of 2020 hemp production growing year. The California company is operated by an award-winning team of extractors and formulators that consistently produces industry-best cannabinoid oils and distillate. This acquisition allows for a technology transfer so intellectual property and technology can be deployed at the HTC facilities in Saskatchewan.

The expanding operations mean changes in the quarterly operational loss figures as well as the company’s total assets, which grew from $34 million to $36.2 million year-over-year

HTC expects to sell and distribute its CBD through brands under its related entity, Purely Canada Foods.

• Pharmaceutical services business Trxade Group Inc. continues to build on a decade’s experience in sustaining independent health care providers by expanding its revenue base and number of subscribers to its business-to-business platform
• The company recently reported year-over-year revenue growth of 173 percent for its third quarter
• Trxade Group’s financial growth is largely due to income from its acquisition of Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC last year, and the company continues to expand its medical service opportunities and revenue base with a new online consultation feature
• The online consultation service will establish “health hubs” through independent pharmacies so underserved patients can consult face-to-face with board-certified medical providers in a secure environment and then access needed prescriptions
• Trxade Group will present its accomplishments at this month’s LD Micro Main Event in Los Angeles, where members of the investment community focused on the microcap space will gather December 10-12
• The LD Micro Main Event will be attended by more than 1,400 individuals with presentations by 275 businesses

Business-to-business pharmacy services supplier Trxade Group Inc. (OTCQB: TRXD), a health care industry influencer passionate about sustaining independent, community-based drug store operations, will round out a year of continued expansion by presenting its corporate operations to attendees at this year’s LD Micro Main Event microcap financing opportunity.

The LD Micro Main Event is an influential gathering of the investment community focused on the microcap space. This year’s 12th annual event will take place in Los Angeles on Dec. 10-12 and will be attended by more than 1,400 individuals. Trxade Group will present during the event’s opening day, helping to get the ball rolling at 9:40 a.m. local time.

“This year’s Main Event is our largest event to date, with 275 companies set to present and meet with investors,” LD Micro President Chris Lahiji stated in a news release announcing Trxade’s appearance (http://ibn.fm/YC42f). “Even though LD has emerged as one of the largest and most influential organizations in the space, our focus has never deviated from showcasing some of the more interesting businesses in the world to our ever-growing community. Investor interest in our events has also never been stronger, and that goes for our commitment to philanthropy as well.”

Trxade Group is developing its growing platform of integrated drug procurement, delivery and health care services that enables independent pharmacies as well as product sellers to competitively strengthen their business profiles through price transparency and increased profit margins for their own pharmaceuticals, accessories and services.

The company recently announced record revenues that marked a 173 percent increase in year-over-year third quarter sales, driven largely by Trxade Group’s acquisition of Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC last year. Community Specialty Pharmacy’s Florida-based business-to-consumer operation includes online access certified independently with 15 state licenses (http://ibn.fm/CDCLd).

The company’s network of subscribers on its supplier-to-pharmacy trading platform also had grown by 431 new independent pharmacies by the end of the quarter, showing a 54 percent increase from a year earlier.

Trxade Group further augmented its members’ health care capacities by finalizing an agreement in November between its subsidiary Bonum Health and Benzer Pharmacy, a chain of independent retail pharmacies in Florida, to launch the ‘Bonum Health Hub’ initiative. The health hub will include a secure virtual examination room through which 800 board-certified medical providers and patients can use face-to-face consultation methods via a protected online portal to address health care concerns (http://ibn.fm/8hewO).

The health hub will launch during the next three months and will extend the reach of independent pharmacies in both rural and urban communities where traditional medical services may not be close at hand or where some members of the community may not be able to afford those services, especially if they lack insurance coverage.

The Bonum Health Hub will provide the technology and capabilities for patients to fill prescriptions within the same pharmacy where the health hub is located. The initial pilot will take place at Benzer locations, then expand throughout Trxade Group’s network of thousands of registered pharmacies nationwide. CEO Suren Ajjarapu stated there are plans to have 100 Benzer Pharmacy locations providing collaborative care by the end of 2020 and then for the model to continue to expand throughout the company’s network.

“This new milestone will not only encourage patients to take medical care into their own hands but will also allow uninsured patients to get the help they need for an affordable price, and from the convenience of a community pharmacy,” Benzer Pharmacy President Alpesh Patel stated in a news release announcing the agreement (http://ibn.fm/c9Sep).

• LiveWire collaborates with Basso Botanicals to launch new cannabis, cannabis/CBD dosage and verification system
• LVVV system improves transparency of cannabis industry by giving consumers, business, municipalities ability to verify product standards
• System makes it easier for growers, manufacturers and retailers to comply with increasingly strict industry requirements

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a health and wellness company that has taken unique and bold steps forward in the cannabis industry, recently announced the launch of a cannabis testing and verification system that can be used to verify potency, materials of origin, dosages and more. The system is called the 7X Pure Compliance and Dosage Verification System (http://ibn.fm/Bp0GD). In launching the new system, LiveWire partnered with Basso Botanicals, an experienced company that has been devoted for years to provide CBD and cannabis products of the highest quality.

The 7X Pure Verification System was first used to put Basso Botanicals’ 725 mg Peppermint Tincture to the test (http://ibn.fm/WcW4B). This 15ml bottle passed the stringent testing of LiveWire’s new system, making it the first 7X Pure product to hit the California cannabis/CBD market. In a news release, LiveWire CEO Bill Hodson said that the company is “pleased that Basso’s Peppermint Tincture will be the first product being marketed nationwide after having passed through the rigorous 7X Pure verification system.”

Basso Botanicals plans to use LVVV’s 7X Pure Verification System to vet all of its products so that the company can deliver fully transparent, precise, high-quality CBD and cannabis product analysis to its customers. Basso Botanicals plans to complete this process within the year. The next Basso Botanicals 7X Pure product, a 150 mg topical, is set to launch in January 2020.

LiveWire is “looking forward to making the 7X Pure system available to manufacturers in the entire industry, creating the opportunity to increase transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain with the goal to improve product quality and reliability and increase consumer confidence in their product purchase decisions,” according to Hodson.

The 7X Pure Verification System also makes it easier for those that grow and manufacture cannabis and CBD products to meet evolving compliance requirements. On top of this, the system provides increased assurance to all those involved in the cannabis industry, including municipalities, by simply scanning the product’s QR code, which takes the user to a website in order to verify the detailed product claims and test results and display the verification certificate.

Manufacturers that want to comply with the 7X Pure verification standard will need to submit documentation as well as a sample of their cannabis or CBD products. This information will be stored in an electronic database and then vetted to make sure that the 7X Pure standards have been met. Once products meet all 7X Pure standards, a verification certificate is issued. A QR code will then be placed on products, which consumers, businesses and others can scan with their mobile phones to access pertinent product data and confirm products are 7X Pure verified. Throughout the process, LiveWire will ensure that the intellectual property of the growers and manufacturers remains fully confidential.

Dale Hall, founder and CEO of Basso Botanicals, is pleased with the recent partnership formed with LiveWire as both companies work toward establishing and administering the new 7X system. He noted that Basso Botanicals has contributed its wealth of experience in the cannabis and CBD markets to help make “7X Pure the gold standard in the industry for the benefit of all cannabis customers.”

LiveWire Ergogenics specializes in identifying and monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The company is focused on acquiring, managing and licensing specialized closed-loop, turnkey, cannabis, real-estate locations of fully compliant and permitted turnkey facilities to produce cannabis-based products and services in California and the statewide distribution of these products.

• CIIX CEO Warren Wang and CBD Biotech executives attended 2019 China Industrial Cannabis CBD Industry International Conference
• At well over one billion people, China’s cannabis industry market potential is four times the size of America’s
• CEO responds to stock’s fluctuating volatility, urges shareholders to continue to invest

ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is a leading purveyor of financial information and education for Chinese-speaking investors in the United States and China providing real-time market commentary, analysis, and educational-related services in Chinese character language sets. The products and services offered help investors make informed decisions and meet individualized financial goals. After creating inroads into the lucrative cannabis sector in the United States through its subsidiary CBD Biotech Inc., CIIX is leveraging its own financial expertise to establish itself as a leader in China’s emerging CBD industry.

On November 23-24, CBD Biotech executives attended the 2019 China Industrial Cannabis CBD Industry International Conference in Haerbing, China. Warren Wang, CEO of CIIX, joined Donald Baillargeon on MoneyTV to share highlights from the conference and recent company news.

Wang described the conference’s focus on the hemp/CBD industry in China, which cemented his belief that the industry has a bright future. China’s cannabis industry is in the early stage of development and has a large potential for growth. Institutional investors, analysts, and fund managers who are interested in the opportunities both in China and offshore were in attendance. Legalizations is slow in China, but the laws are changing, and investors are looking for potential opportunities. With approximately 1.4 billion people, China has four times the market potential of America. In a Wall Street Journal video, titled ‘Why China is Betting Big on CBD’ (http://ibn.fm/UwOFI), the consensus among Chinese entrepreneurs is that while the U.S. is a currently a major player, the future of the cannabis industry belongs to China.

CBD Biotech executives were on hand at November’s conference to feature new products and provide information and education on current products. The company is one of the first to enter this market and has laid the foundation for success as the hemp/CBD industry continues to grow in China (http://ibn.fm/2RjQj).

In the MoneyTV interview with Baillargeon, Wang also responded to CIIX stock’s fluctuating volatility, speaking to the company’s strong management team and focused achievement of long-term objectives. He reminded shareholders of Amazon’s early days where the value of stocks would fluctuate dramatically. Since CIIX is still a young company and has a promising future, Wang commented that “short term stock volatility is not going to effect the long-term picture.” For now, he encourages those who believe in CIIX to invest disposable money.

The strength of CIIX lies in its management team, long-term goals and strategy, and placement in a potentially explosive market.

• SRAX BIGtoken proprietary platform based on consumers’ rights to privacy, ownership of digital data
• BIGtoken platform allows consumers to own and earn from their digital data
• SRAX offers access to valuable proprietary data from consumers who opt in

SRAX Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SRAX) philosophy about the importance of consumers controlling and owning their own personal digital data has been reinforced by a YouTube video from Apple that tells consumers that their own private information on an iPhone – from personal health to text messages – should remain private. SRAX, a technology firm that permits consumers to control their own digital privacy data, is trending ahead of the curve in that respect. The company has been focused on empowering consumers to take control of their data since its inception.

The video explains to consumers that the information they have on their iPhone should remain private and that private and personal things “should belong to you.” The video (http://ibn.fm/e5ZHI) further notes that “there is more private information on your phone than in your home…. so many details about your life are right in your pocket. This makes privacy more important now than ever. Your location, your messages, your heart rate after a run. These are private things, personal things, and they should belong to you. Simple as that.”

SRAX’s philosophy is completely in line with Apple’s message about the importance of securing digital data. With consumer privacy in mind, SRAX developed its own platform, called BIGtoken, that asks consumers to voluntarily opt-in to participate (http://ibn.fm/SVKcP). BIGtoken is described by SRAX as “a platform to own and earn from your data,” adding that “your digital data is an extension of who you are, and it’s time to take back what is rightfully yours.” By securing consumers’ trust, SRAX is in the process of building the most valuable opted-in data set in the world.

What is unique about SRAX is that it offers consumers a secure and transparent environment to control their own privacy while also unlocking the value of their data. Taking care of the issue of consent immediately, SRAX asks users for permission to share data when they originally sign up for the BIGtoken platform.

The company’s proprietary technology then unlocks data to reveal a brand’s core consumers and the characteristics of those consumers across marketing channels. SRAX’s machine-learning technology analyzes marketing data, and its BIGtoken platform enables consumers to own, manage and sell access to their digital identity and data. Mutually beneficial, both consumer and marketing brands reap the rewards of data, and consumers are never blindsided by unforeseen privacy leaks. Additionally, this approach gives SRAX valuable proprietary data and multiple revenue streams, the company said in its SEC 10-Q filing in August 2019 (http://ibn.fm/YimIp).

“BIG token is a secure platform that empowers you to realize and claim the value of your digital self,” the website explains. “You have a right to privacy, awareness and choice when it comes to the data that you put out into the digital world. With BIG, you can own and earn from that data while staying connected to your community.”

• Two trends for 2019 – adjusting to changing customer behaviors and utilizing an independent sales force – have created unique opportunities from which Sharing Services has been perfectly positioned to benefit
• SHRG well-positioned in direct-selling industry thanks to its subsidiaries – Elevacity Global LLC and Elepreneurs LLC – which provide ideal avenues to make the most of top trends
• Elepreneurs created to answer the call for a new era of entrepreneurs

Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a diversified holding company that owns, operates or controls an interest in a variety of companies specializing in the direct-selling industry, is capitalizing on two trends that have had a tremendous impact in the direct-selling space this year.

Direct Selling News, the only publication dedicated to serving direct selling and network marketing executives in North America, just released an insightful article titled ‘5 Events That Impacted Direct Selling in 2019’ (http://ibn.fm/qQ6es). Two of the events – customer behaviors changing rapidly and partnering with an independent sales force to focus on customer acquisition – have created unique opportunities from which SHRG – with its longstanding emphasis on consumer health and wellness – has been ideally positioned to benefit.

“The most fundamental changes that are happening right now are centered on the consumer,” the article states. “With the rise of mobile, social and cloud technologies, customer expectations are increasing dramatically, and they are demanding a more seamless experience. They want to buy products where, when and how they want.”

In December 2017, SHRG launched two subsidiaries: Elevacity Global LLC and Elepreneurs LLC, both of which were created with the modern consumer in mind. These entities have provided ideal avenues for Sharing Services to make the most of these two key trends.

Elevacity Global is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of products that are formulated to give consumers exactly what they want. Exclusive Elevacity products focus on creating health, wealth, and happiness through powerful nutritional products that contain ingredients that have been scientifically proven to stimulate the happiness hormones dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. The Elevacity brand of products includes nutritional and skin-care offerings that have been carefully selected to elevate the lives of SHRG consumers.

In addition to being nimble and dynamic in its approach to meeting consumers’ needs, Sharing Services is focused on partnering with its independent sales force in customer acquisition. The Direct Selling News article quoted guest author Wayne Moorehead, who noted that “there is a huge opportunity for us to partner more closely with our distributors, to be more involved in telling the brand story and in customer acquisition. I predict the brands that are able to bring together the best of direct selling with the best of direct to consumer are the ones who will be the most relevant five years from now. . . . We need to make learning about interacting with us more convenient, seamless and simple. We can no longer expect our customers, prospective customers or distributors to put up with outdated designs, clunky processes and outdated technologies.”

SHRG’s Elepreneurs is leveraging this timely opportunity. The subsidiary was created to answer the call for a new era of entrepreneurs, which SHRG calls Elepreneurs, who want to share superior, scientifically backed products in contemporary ways that fully utilize the new era of social media and a widening consumer base that crosses industries and borders. The company focuses on relationship marketing, which breaks the traditional direct-selling mold, creating big opportunities for small businesses across the company’s platform.

Sharing Services and its subsidiaries are perfectly positioned in a growing global direct-selling market. SHRG empowers entrepreneurs, building leadership skills and offering competitive products and services. The company’s business model is designed to elevate its Elepreneurs and reach its customer base with relationship marketing and social-media engagement.

Made from pure-CBD cannabis oil and USDA-certified-organic MCT coconut oil, Pūr Dew is manufactured at the company’s facility in Langley, British Columbia. Through careful formulation and extraction, Blissco has retained delicate terpenes, giving the new CBD-oil product a gentle smell of clove, citrus and pine. Available initially in British Columbia, Pūr Dew will be available in other Canadian provinces throughout the next year.

In addition to prioritizing quality and creating a high-end product formulation, Supreme Cannabis and the Blissco brand have made sustainability a priority as well. Blissco sources packaging that is as environmentally friendly as possible. With that in mind, Pūr Dew comes in recyclable glass bottles with its outer cardboard packaging made from 100% post-consumer wastepaper.

Since 2014, Supreme Cannabis Company has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing, premium plant-driven lifestyle companies by effectively deploying capital, with an emphasis on disciplined growth and high-quality products. Noting that the CBD market for legal cannabis sales in Canada alone is expected to reach $4.7 billion by 2023, with sales in the United States projected to top $24 billion by that time (http://ibn.fm/99AHO), the company is strategically entering a lucrative market with a high-quality product offering.

Supreme Cannabis Company’s portfolio includes 7ACRES, its wholly owned subsidiary and multi-award-winning brand; Blissco, a wellness cannabis brand and a multi-licensed processor and distributor based in British Columbia; Truverra Inc., a global medicinal cannabis brand and licensed cultivator; Cambium Plant Sciences, a plant genetics and cultivation IP company; Medigrow Lesotho, a cannabis oil producer located in Southern Africa; Supreme Heights, an investment platform focused on CBD brands in the United Kingdom and Europe; and a brand partnership and licensing deal with Khalifa Kush Enterprises Canada.
