AquaCol is developing a smarter route to liquid marine collagen—designed to recover value while preserving the fish skin and its natural oil.

Our premise
Nature made more than one valuable material. Why recover only one?
For years, the industry has accepted a trade-off: recover collagen, but lose the structure and potential of the skin. AquaCol has spent six years pursuing a different outcome.
One raw material. Greater potential.Beyond extraction.
Beyond extraction.
Towards preservation.
Our protected approach is being developed around a simple principle: obtain high-value liquid collagen and oil while keeping the skin available for a useful next life.
Natural oil
Preserving more of the original material means protecting more of its inherent value and opening additional routes to market.
Why preservation matters →Intact skin
Instead of a pulped by-product, the skin is preserved with the ambition of enabling higher-value applications and reducing reliance on lower-value disposal routes.

Traditional extraction can leave value behind.
Conventional collagen recovery commonly breaks fish skins down. Once their structure is lost, so are many possible routes to higher-value use.
