From Waste to Wellness: The Circular Journey of Collagen
Information
Collagen stands as a unique example of how sustainability, biotechnology, and human health can converge in a single molecule. Once a by-product of the leather industry, collagen has evolved into a high-value ingredient driving innovation across nutrition, health, and regenerative medicine.
This session explores the circular journey of collagen—from its origins in upcycled natural resources to its transformation into bioactive peptides that support skin, joint, and overall human well-being. Beyond its role in nutrition and nutricosmetics, collagen is now emerging as a key material for the future of personalized health—powering next-generation biomaterials such as GelMA and ColMA used in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
Join us to discover how a single molecule can bridge waste valorization and wellness, symbolizing the transition toward a truly circular and sustainable bioeconomy.
