Sustainability
Upcycling with purpose
CollaSwiss is a product of Swiss Nutrivalor Biotech & Pharma, an internationally active manufacturer of hydrolyzed collagen based in Switzerland.
Thanks to our innovative manufacturing technology, CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen has become a versatile and indispensable ingredient in the nutraceutical sector.
Purity, taste and odor neutrality are the main characteristics that distinguish CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen as one of the most valuable ingredients in functional foods as well as in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
Sustainably powered logistics​
Our collagen peptide production machinery is fueled by electricity and steam, with the steam being internally generated by one of our sister production facilities.
​
In 2024, around half of the fuel used for this steam generation came from renewable sources. Thanks to this growing share of renewable energy, we are able to cover a significant portion of the Centravo Group’s electricity needs ourselves, supported by our photovoltaic systems operating across several sites.
As a byproduct of animal processing, we also produce our own biodiesel, which powers the majority of our modern Euro 6 truck fleet. Each year, our logistics operations cover several million kilometers, largely running on biofuels supplied through the company’s own filling station. Our logistics partners can also benefit from this renewable fuel. Centravo Logistics continues to meet the requirements for COâ‚‚ certification from the Energy Agency of the Swiss Private Sector (EnAW).
These and many other measures help us achieve our COâ‚‚ reduction targets within the Centravo Group, which has voluntarily committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and progressively decarbonizing its operations.
Swiss Materials
CollaSwiss is a product of Swiss Nutrivalor Biotech & Pharma, an internationally active manufacturer of hydrolyzed collagen based in Switzerland.

Purity, taste and odor neutrality are the main characteristics that distinguish CollaSwiss Hydrolysed Collagen as one of the most valuable ingredients in functional foods as well as in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
Depending on the product line, the collagen is either
a) produced directly from Swiss pig skin, or
b) derived from gelatine supplied by our strategic EU partner – who, in turn, also uses Swiss pig skin as a raw material for its gelatine production.
This ensures that the raw material origin remains consistent and traceable throughout the entire value chain. What makes these products special is their “Swiss-ness” – shaped by Switzerland’s unique animal husbandry practices and the country’s exceptionally high animal welfare standards.
