Who we are

Transforming marine by-products into high-value biomaterials and bio-based ingredients for sustainable applications.

Our story

At CHITELIX, we transform challenges into opportunities.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in the seafood processing industry,  where by-products were largely discarded  we recognized their untapped potential.

 Following two years of focused R&D, we developed a solution: transforming marine by-products into high-value biomaterials and bio-based ingredients for sustainable applications.

From marine by-products to high-demand biomaterials
