Meatable, a leader in cultivated meat technology, has announced a new collaboration with Pelagen, a company pioneering sustainable, animal-free leather. This partnership will allow Pelagen to use Meatable’s award-winning opti-ox™ technology to enhance the production of skin tissue from animal cells. Pelagen hopes to use this opportunity to improve the efficiency and scalability of its cultivated leather, providing a sustainable alternative for the fashion, automotive, and interior design industries.
A key focus of the partnership is lowering costs, increasing production speed, and enhancing the quality of biofabricated natural materials. This collaboration creates a unique opportunity for Meatable, as the impact will expand beyond the food industry and reinforce the company's commitment to cross-industry collaboration.
“We are proud to partner with Pelagen, a company committed to making a significant environmental and ethical impact,” said Jeff Tripician, CEO of Meatable. “Just as Meatable is revolutionizing how we produce and consume meat, Pelagen is redefining leather manufacturing with a sustainable approach.”
Pelagen sees Meatable’s expertise as crucial in accelerating the development of its cultivated leather. Sasha Madhavji, CEO of Pelagen, highlighted Meatable’s unique ability to enable rapid bioprocessing, which will help bring their products to market at a commercially viable scale.
“We share the same goal in seeing our favorite products endure into a sustainable future, without ever sacrificing on quality,” Madhavji stated.
The collaboration represents a significant step forward in sustainable manufacturing, offering viable alternatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality and durability consumers expect.
