Collagen is everywhere, but there is still a lot of confusion about it. Some sustainability claims do not stand up to scrutiny. Quality differences are rarely talked about, and sourcing decisions often lack a clear way to evaluate them.

This session brings together independent researchers and industry experts to take a closer look at how collagen is evaluated in practice, from sourcing and extraction to analytical testing and verification.

The session will start with a market overview and data from the Industry Transparency Center, setting the stage for how these topics show up across the collagen category today.

What We Covered:

• What LCA data reveals about collagen extraction and sustainability, and where the findings might surprise you
• What makes quality type II collagen different from others, and how its structural integrity is measured and verified

Speakers:

• Len Monheit, Industry Transparency Center
• Zain Saiyed, PhD, Lonza
• Dr. Miguel Batista
