Meatable, a leader in cultivated
meat technology, has started a collaboration effort with Pelagen, a pioneering company focused on developing animal-free leather. This
collaboration enables Pelagen to explore the use of the award-winning opti-ox™
technology to enhance its production of skin tissue from animal cells,
improving efficiency and scalability in sustainable leather manufacturing
across a range of industries.
To ensure successful commercialization of
the cultivated leathers, optimized media and processes are required. Therefore,
Pelagen and Meatable will also work together to generate the most effective
media composition and process to lower cost, enhance speed and efficiency, and
increase quality.
The agreement marks a milestone for Meatable as it expands its impact
beyond the food industry, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable future
through strategic partnerships.
Jeff Tripician, CEO of Meatable, commented: “We are proud to partner
with Pelagen, a company committed to making a significant environmental and
ethical impact. Just as Meatable is revolutionizing the way we produce and
consume meat, Pelagen is redefining leather manufacturing with a sustainable
approach. We’re excited to support their vision and market potential through
our technology.”
Sasha Madhavji, CEO of Pelagen, said: “Meatable has demonstrated clear
leadership in their field, with a singular capability to enable lightspeed
bioprocess. We are excited to leverage their technical edge and accelerate our
time to impact – something only possible at commercially relevant scales. We
share the same goal in seeing our favorite products endure into a sustainable
future, without ever sacrificing on quality.”
