Aquacol™
Sustainable Marine Collagen
for Advanced Applications
A high purity marine collagen ingredient extracted from fishery by products. Formulated for manufacturers who require consistency, traceability and sustainability without compromising performance.
Premium Biomolecule
for Sustainable Innovation
Aquacol is a marine collagen biomolecule produced through proprietary extraction and purification processes that recover collagen from fish processing waste otherwise destined for disposal.
The result is a high-purity ingredient developed to meet the consistency and quality requirements of cosmetic and nutraceutical manufacturers, without the supply chain complexity, environmental burden, or religious and ethical concerns associated with mammalian-derived collagen.
Source & Sustainability
Aquacol is sourced exclusively from fishery by-products, including skins, scales, and frames from commercial fish processing operations that would otherwise enter the waste stream.
This circular sourcing model eliminates pressure on dedicated fish populations, reduces the environmental impact of fishery waste disposal, and creates economic value from materials that were previously discarded. Every batch of Aquacol represents biological resources recovered from landfill or disposal, supporting a more sustainable and resource-efficient bioeconomy.
Purity & Quality
Aquacol is produced under controlled conditions with rigorous in process quality controls. Each batch undergoes testing for protein content and purity, amino acid composition, molecular weight profile, heavy metals, microbial contamination and thermal stability.
Our quality systems are designed to meet the expectations of cosmetic grade and nutraceutical grade applications, with full traceability from source material through to finished ingredient.
Why Aquacol?
Marine collagen peptides are generally characterised by lower molecular weight compared to mammalianalternatives, a property associated in published literature with favourable absorption profiles in oral and topicalformulations.
High Bioavailability
Marine collagen peptides are generally characterised by lower molecular weight compared to mammalian alternatives, a property associated in published literature with favourable absorption profiles in oral and topical formulations.
Sustainably Sourced
Recovered from fishery by products. Zero pressure on wild fish populations. Reduced environmental footprint compared to conventional collagen supply chains.
Hypoallergenic
Marine collagen peptides exhibit low immunogenicity compared to their mammalian counterparts.
Consistent & Traceable
Controlled extraction and purification processes designed for batch to batch consistency. Full traceability from source to finished ingredient.
Cost-Effective
Circular sourcing model and efficient extraction deliver competitive pricing without compromising quality.
