Our Sustainability Initiatives
Sustainability drives all of our actions here at Gelnex, from our factory processes to our impact on the community and environment. We source raw material from animals originally slaughtered for human consumption, and reduce waste by using the hides to produce our gelatin and collagen.
Through our operations, Gelnex works to act in harmony with sustainable objectives and environmental protection.
