Rousselot granted Upcycled Certified® status for Peptan®

The Upcycled Certified Standard by the WFCF is the world's only third-party certification for upcycled food. Designed to combat food waste, it recognizes products that use high-quality, safe ingredients that might otherwise go unused. Peptan collagen peptides exemplify this approach, transforming bovine, porcine, and fish-derived raw materials into bioactive ingredients with multiple health benefits. Produced through a unique enzymatic hydrolysis process, Peptan maximizes resource efficiency, ensuring their full potential is realized.

"This certification is a testament to Peptan's commitment to sustainability," said Jeroen Colpaert, Executive Vice President, Rousselot. "Peptan is a prime example of how upcycled ingredients can be transformed into high-value, functional solutions. By choosing Peptan, brands can confidently offer science-backed products while aligning with growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible solutions."

Consumer interest in sustainable products is growing, along with the food and nutrition industry's efforts to minimize waste. Awareness of upcycled products is on the rise with a recent study indicating that 43% of consumers find upcycled products appealing - up from 35% the previous year.¹

Upcycled Peptan collagen peptides preserve 100% of nature's goodness, delivering a full range of health & beauty benefits backed by science. These include joint health², mobility³, skin and hair beauty⁴ and overall well-being, from sports recovery⁵ to sleep quality⁶ and cognitive performance⁷.
