Calyxt, a plant-based biotechnology company, has joined hands with an unnamed Asian Manufacturer to introduce a soya bean-based commercial alternative to palm oil. This partnership would help Calyxt generate approximately $35 million for the company. Palm oil has been questioned for sustainability reasons as its extraction results in deforestation, climate change, habitat degradation, and animal cruelty.
