Vaccipro®
A uniqe product in GELITA’s portfolio, VacciPro®, is being utilized by the world’s leading vaccine producers in the development of critical H1N1 vaccines. While VacciPro®, a specialized collagen peptide specially optimized for vaccine stabilization, has been used in the production of vaccines for years, the recent outbreak of the H1N1 virus presents one of the most important vaccine developments in modern times. With its exceptionally high levels of purity and excellent and consistent molecular weight control, VacciPro® is ideal for antigen stabilization.
GELITA carefully produces VacciPro®in accordance with the requirements of the USP and EP. The viral clearance of VacciPro® even exceeds the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) requirements for implantable devices. Also, because of VacciPro®’s low allergenic potential, high tolerance by the body and an affinity for tissue cells, it is an ideal substance for injected pharmaceuticals. With high stabilization properties, VacciPro® is recognized by a number of global vaccine producers as the gold standard in vaccine development.

Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2015

"We care about people, society and the environment", this is the guiding principle of GELITA AG, Eberbach, which is expressed in the company's corporate value "Care". In recent years, the company has consistently invested in efficient processes and modern technologies at every location and supported numerous social projects.
GELITA's Sustainability Report 2015 documents their progress, and is available in English.
As one of the leading global manufacturers of natural collagen proteins, GELITA is particularly committed to the environment and to society. "Sustainability is not just a part of our strategy; a healthy environment and society are the prerequisite for GELITA's success in the market. I consider managing and developing the company from an environmental, social and economic point of view as important tasks for the future", says Dr. Franz Josef Konert, CEO of GELITA AG. "As we process natural raw materials, the sustainable use of natural resources is of vital importance for us. We are aware of this responsibility and act accordingly."
GELITA continually strives to improve the existing processes at all 21 production plants and to reduce the consequences of its activities on the environment. The 2015 Sustainability Report presents some selected projects. The measures range from converting to LED lighting, optimizing production processes and transport routes, to recycling production waste. The report shows the development of important environmental issues from 2013 to 2015: The energy consumption per kilogram of product sank by 15.6%, the amount of fresh water required decreased by 17.3%, waste water volume declined by 12.7%, and waste material dropped by 32.2%. The production volume increased in the same period from around 251,000 to approx. 259,000 tonnes.

Contribution to sustainable business operations
GELITA produces gelatine and collagen peptides from natural animal raw materials that are obtained from the by-products of meat production, such as bovine hide, pig skin and bones. We only process raw materials from animals that have been approved for human consumption. Gelatine is used in foodstuffs, and pharmaceutical and industrial applications. GELITA collagen peptides stimulate certain cells in the human body to produce collagen, thus promoting resilient joints, strong bones and firm skin. Collagen is the most common protein in the body (30%).
When treating raw animal materials for gelatine, minerals, fat and functional proteins remain after processing. GELITA has developed complex processes to produce quality products out of these residual leftovers. Among others, they are very popular in the agricultural industry as animal feed or fertilizer. "We utilize 100% of the raw materials", says Michael Teppner, Head of Marketing & Communications. "This is in line with our ethical responsibilities. This is one of our contributions to sustainable operations in agriculture and the food industry."
