Eco-Friendly Collagen Credentials

Rousselot, the health and nutrition brand of Darling Ingredients, is announcing that its flagship product, Peptan® collagen peptides, has officially received Upcycled Certified® recognition from Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF).

Peptan is a standout example of how upcycling can be seamlessly integrated into health-focused innovation. Sourced from bovine, porcine, or marine raw materials that might otherwise go to waste, Peptan collagen peptides are created through a proprietary enzymatic hydrolysis process. This technology not only ensures the highest quality and bioavailability of collagen but also maximizes the use of existing resources, transforming them into functional, high-value ingredients that support overall wellness.

“This certification is a testament to Peptan’s commitment to sustainability,” said Jeroen Colpaert, Executive Vice President, Rousselot Health & Nutrition. “Peptan is a prime example of how upcycled ingredients can be transformed into high-value, functional solutions. By choosing Peptan, brands can confidently offer products that deliver science-backed benefits, while also aligning with the growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible solutions.”
