Environment & Sustainability
Upcycled/Sustainable Calcium
Patented process which utilizes a wastestream generated by liquid egg processing for the purposes of manufacturing a highly pure form of all-natural and sustainable calcium.
Field of Expertise
Innovation, nutritional ingredients, and upcycling.
Expertise
We have spent ~7 years developing a process that is patented in several different international jurisdictions and is capable of utilizing an existing wastestream from a particular type of food processing operation, which would otherwise largely go to landfill, in order to offset our need to mine for raw material and manufacture highly pure forms of calcium and membrane/collagen that have been tailored for supply into the human ingestible and specialty packaging markets - including, but not limited to, nutraceuticals/natural health, pharmaceuticals, food fortification, cosmetics and personal care. The material that we are bringing to market is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to the traditional mined resource material that is being used across these sectors currently. Further our EggTech calcium material is superior from a mineral composition and purity perspective. Our calcium has also been shown to be conducive for absorption and uptake in the GI tract, which in turn, emphasizes its relevance to be used for nutritional purposes
