 Written by [Marc Roller, PhD](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/author/marc-roller-phd) | January 28, 2021

Discover in this video post, our CEO - Head of Innovation interview, Marc Roller, PhD, about [the commissioning of our new extraction site in Ardèche, near Valence.](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/natural-origins-is-continuing-its-development-with-its-new-production-unit)

 

 

## **A strategic industrial establishment**

 

### 1. Sourcing

 

We chose this location in the Ardèche near the Drôme because this area is located in the heart [of the aromatic and medicinal plants’ cradle](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/the-popularity-of-made-in-france) that we use as part of their [transformation into ingredients](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/natural-origins-business-model).

 

### 2. Logistics

 

This location is also located near main communication routes and close to our Lyon head office, allowing us [to optimise our supply chain](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/sourcing-and-transforming-locally-the-natural-origins-model-a-holistic-approach-to-botany).

 

### 3. Welcome

 

We also received a very warm welcome from local and regional stakeholders on our arrival.

 

 

## **Environmental issues**

 

Loyal to our [CSR commitments](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/csr-commitments-at-natural-origins), we have taken [environmentally-friendly](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/plant-raw-materials-and-csr-what-you-need-to-know) issues into account.

 

### Energy optimisations

 

For example, we have set up an [energy recovery process for the evaporation and cooling systems](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/focus-on-the-new-natural-origins-plant-extract-production-capabilities) and we have also tried to minimise electricity consumption, whenever possible.

 

 

## **3 main criteria**

 

### 1. Flexibility

 

We have a tool that allows us to support our customers in launching [batches of several kilos up to large productions of several tons](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/focus-on-the-new-natural-origins-plant-extract-production-capabilities).

 

### 2. Versatility

 

We can process all sorts of raw materials: [leaves, seeds, roots, bark by means of aqueous extraction and ethanolic extraction](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/focus-on-the-new-natural-origins-plant-extract-production-capabilities).

 

### 3. Operational efficiency

 

As the unit is fully automated, it allows [all parameters to be controlled and guarantees perfect reproducibility of our processes](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/focus-on-the-new-natural-origins-plant-extract-production-capabilities).
