Amel in Elbasan is introducing a modern approach to processing medicinal and aromatic plants. The company also uses organic waste innovatively.

Sofjan Jaupaj said the approach moves away from traditional extraction methods.

“Amel applies a green, waste-free method called Supercritical Fluid Extraction. It produces clean, high-quality products for global markets,” he said.

The company processes over 80 plant species. It also innovatively uses organic residues from agriculture and aquaculture.

“This model shows that what was once considered waste can now become added value for the economy,” Jaupaj added.

Co-founder Lindita Vrushti said the family business started in 2008. She explained that they chose a green, innovative, waste-free technology over traditional distillation or chemical solvents.

She added, “Markets demand plants that are pure and natural. Our technology serves pharmaceutical, food, natural cosmetics, animal feed, and soil biostimulant industries.”
