Company mission

To trigger the next wave of material innovation by harnessing biology's molecular building blocks.

Our take

Animal-derived collagen has long been a staple in personal care, fashion, and other applications, but it comes with environmental and ethical concerns. Cambrium is stepping in with a sustainable alternative, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to design, scale, and manufacture novel molecular building blocks for man-made collagen.

Having recently securing funding, Cambrium aims to transition the early successes of its skin-identical collagen ingredient NovaColl into a lasting impact, by scaling its manufacturing and commercial activities for animal-free collagen products.

Its technology not only presents a viable solution to reduce reliance on animal-derived collagen, but accelerates the development of other innovative biomolecules, suggesting a future where Cambrian could create high-performance, sustainable materials for various other sectors.
