VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“the Company”) (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property (IP)-focused AgTech company, today announced it has purchased a 14% stake in Radical Clean Solutions (“RCS”). RCS, under the leadership of Roger Slotkin, has developed and is commercializing a suite of proprietary and patent-pending chemical-free Hydroxyl devices that are proven to eliminate pathogens, mold, mildew and VOCs in food production facilities, indoor farms and medical, commercial and home environments.

Key Points: 
  • Hydroxyl technology produces hydroxyl radicals that break down and oxidize pollutants at a molecular level.
  • The hydroxyl radicals then quickly revert back to oxygen and hydrogen, leaving no toxic residues.
  • We believe that RCS’ chemical-free technologies could become a critical component for helping reduce food spoilage, ensuring maximum food safety, employee health and operational efficiency for any facility at which they are deployed.
  • Our hydroxyl technology is dispersed throughout the environment in which it operates, thereby sanitizing all surfaces, materials, equipment and the very air itself.
