GELATIN-Committed to Sustainability

• Natural, clean-label ingredients: Gelatin and collagen peptides are pure, natural proteins made from animal by-products, contain no preservatives or additives, and support a clean-label approach, meeting both consumer health and sustainability expectations.

• Circular economy & added value: These products transform otherwise discarded material into valuable resources, offering economic benefits to farmers and enabling upcycling within the meat-processing chain.

• Eco-conscious production: Production is designed to be ecologically sound, with companies committed to long-term environmental protection due to reliance on natural resources.

• Wastewater recycling & biogas: Water used in production is pre-treated and returned cleaner to the environment. Organic components may be converted by bacteria into biogas, which is used for energy; by-products and sludge are repurposed as organic fertilizer, supporting circularity.

• Reducing food waste: Gelatin can extend the shelf life of products (e.g., fresh sausages), helping reduce food waste along the supply chain.

• Overall sustainability impact: As a by-product-based ingredient that is fully traceable, renewable, and upcycled, gelatin and collagen peptides offer a positive contribution to sustainability and the circular economy.
