Problem
Traditional methods of producing type I collagen rely on animal sources, which raises ethical concerns, carries the risk of disease transmission, and contributes to environmental degradation. The current collagen supply chain struggles to meet the increasing demand for collagen in diverse sectors, including health, beauty, food, and materials.
Solution
Provenance Bio has developed a novel, animal-free protein expression system for producing type I collagen. This technology offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to animal-derived collagen, addressing the growing demand for ethically sourced and environmentally friendly proteins. The bioidentical human collagen produced can be used in a variety of applications, including collagen peptides for health and beauty, gelatin for food and pharma, collagen bioplastics for packaging and materials, collagen for leather in fashion and automotive, and collagen scaffolding for cultivated meat and human organs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes companies in the health, beauty, food, and materials industries seeking sustainable and ethically sourced collagen alternatives.
