🌿 Trimming Cannabis & Finding the Right Balance In a recent survey by Cannabis Business Times, commercial cultivators revealed that their biggest post-harvest challenge is trimming—particularly hand trimming. Hand trimming has long been the go-to for many growers, offering a meticulous touch that preserves the natural beauty and potency of top-shelf cannabis. However, it’s a time-consuming process, with the average trimmer handling just 1-2 pounds of flower in an eight-hour shift. On the other hand, machine trimming is gaining traction, especially in large-scale operations. With the ability to process up to 60 pounds of buds per hour, machines help growers clear crops faster, reduce labor costs, and avoid the sticky mess that comes with hand trimming. While some worry about potential loss in flower structure and potency, many operations find that a combination of machine efficiency and hand finesse offers the best results. Whether you’re looking to speed up your workflow or maintain a handcrafted touch, the key is finding the right balance for your operation.

Mild price increases persist across Europe’s PET markets in June For full story: https://bit.ly/3KRdOdf Initial PET offers for June were unveiled with rollovers to €10-20/ton increases, sustaining the pricing policy seen in May. As the PET industry exhibits a complex landscape, rather modest hike requests surfaced despite the traditional peak season. While regional suppliers have lowered production to balance out underperforming demand, a lack of competitive import origins has been supporting the most recent gains.

One of the hot topics today is the situation in the European Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) market. The availability and prices of PET are being closely monitored as demand increases and concerns arise about potential supply constraints. Indorama Ventures, a major PET supplier, is undergoing a consultation process to evaluate the future of its PET production in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This has raised concerns about potential closures and the impact on material availability. Additionally, import/export freight costs have become a significant topic of discussion, with prices reaching almost prohibitive levels. Asian suppliers have been offering reduced quantities due to the container deficit and high costs. The European PET market is also experiencing stability, although demand could be better

3N Lakering A/S have experienced a significant improvement in the quality of their blasting process after being introduced to Amapure by Clemco Danmark A/S. In the words of Allan Pretzmann Jensen, Production Manager "Clemco Denmark introduced us to a new product which effectively removes oil and grease residue from our operating mix.”   Amapure was recommended as an alternative to other additives which had been tried, and the results were impressive. As Allan says, “Previously, we used 60% more additive. Using Amapure, we have now achieved a noticeable saving on our purchases, and we spend less time refilling and checking our dosing-system. The switch to Amapure has provided us with many benefits. All in all, we save time, effort and money by using Amapure.” https://lnkd.in/efFgAvPZ #sustainablemetallicabrasives #amapure #ervin #theworldstandardforquality

“During the entire time we have had them, we have had to put absolutely no thought or effort into our Finn-Power crimpers’ functioning or the quality they produce. They just keep functioning and doing what they are supposed to do, year after year. These machines have been designed to a tee.”   The Finnish PP-Hydraulics has had two Finn-Power crimpers in active daily use since the 90s. PP-Hydraulics originally purchased the machines pre-owned, which means that they have been in active use for over 30 years. Pertti Portin, founder of PP-Hydraulics, describes the situation as follows: “it is safe to say that these machines have an absolutely incomparable lifespan”   Read more about the decades-long mutual partnership between Lillbacka and PP-Hydraulics 👇 https://lnkd.in/dFaubmET #lillbackapowerco #lillbacka #finnpower #pphydraulics #crimpers #crimpingmachines #hydraulics

Illinois’ 2024 Disparity Study Report recommends a ‘third-party transport mandate’ for cultivation centers. With vendor requirements already in place, this policy ensures licensed transporters, especially minority and women-owned businesses, get their fair share of market access in furtherance of fair competition. It’s a straightforward way to promote equity and efficiency in our growing cannabis industry. Let’s make it happen! Other Key Transport Insights from the Report: • Transporters faced operational challenges due to delays in the licensing of craft growers and infusers. • Many transporters struggled to secure contracts because cultivators often transport their own products. • Transporters advocate for allowing home delivery and overnight storage to expand their revenue streams. • Clearer regulatory guidelines and consistent enforcement are needed to reduce operational uncertainties. • Access to capital remains a significant barrier for minority and women-owned transport businesses. #CannabisTransport #EquityInBusiness #IllinoisCannabis #PolicyChange
