Innovation,
Not Destruction
Gelatex materials are derived from gelatin – a versatile natural protein derived from abundantly available waste from meat processing industry.
The Gelatex Process
Re-Direct
01
Our core component is gelatin— a versatile yet undervalued byproduct of the livestock industry.
Gelatin Production
Today in the livestock industry, when animals are slaughtered only 60% of the animal may be used for meat. The rest is often discarded.
Re-Directed
As a part of discarded waste, there are bones, skin scraps and tendons that can be used to make gelatin – a natural versatile protein. Today, over 5 million tons of this material only in EU is incinerated.
Gelatex Platform
At Gelatex, we gelatin that is upcycled from this waste is used as a core component of our natural, safe, and sustainable materials.
Spin
02
We mix the gelatin into a solution. Gelatex then uses a proprietary method of spinning gelatin into insoluble nanofibrous mesh.

Formulate
Once the mesh is created, the structure becomes a perfect base for combining it with other materials to formulate it for diverse applications and industries.
