Cold Pressed vs CO2 Extraction Both cold-pressed and CO2 extraction methods are used to extract oils and other compounds from plants, including CBD. Here are some differences between the two methods: Process: Cold-pressed extraction involves mechanically pressing the plant material to extract the oil, while CO2 extraction uses carbon dioxide to extract the oil. Yield: CO2 extraction tends to produce a higher yield of CBD oil compared to cold-pressed extraction. Purity: CO2 extraction is considered a more pure method of extraction, as it doesn't leave behind any residual solvents or chemicals. Cold-pressed extraction may result in some impurities in the final product. Cost: CO2 extraction is generally more expensive than cold-pressed extraction, due to the high cost of the equipment needed for the process. Environmental impact: CO2 extraction is considered a more environmentally friendly method, as it doesn't require the use of harmful chemicals or solvents. Quality: Zen independently verify all production batches meet the strength and purity expectations set.
