The Mediterranean Sea holds immense potential. From the vast array of life beneath the surface to the untapped resources, the sea offers an endless source of inspiration and innovation. At Tetis Biotechnology, we are proud to harness the power of the sea to create sustainable, high-quality products that contribute to both human health and environmental well-being.
Founded in 2018, Tetis Biotechnology is at the forefront of marine-based innovation, specializing in the responsible use of marine by-products and underutilized species. Through our research and development efforts, we aim to transform these marine resources into valuable bioactive ingredients for use in the food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries. Our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly production methods drives everything we do, ensuring that we create products that not only benefit society but also preserve the health of the ecosystems we rely on.
A Sustainable Approach to Marine Resources
In many coastal regions, fishing activities yield not only commercially valuable species but also a large number of non-target species that are discarded as waste. In Turkish seas, for example, non-target species sometimes account for up to 70-80% of the total catch. These discarded species include invasive species that threaten marine biodiversity and disrupt the natural ecosystem balance.
At Tetis Biotechnology, we see these underutilized marine resources as an opportunity rather than a waste. Our R&D efforts focus on converting these marine by-products into high-value products, such as marine hydrolyzed proteins and collagen. By transforming these resources, we reduce waste and support ecosystem-based marine resource management, contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Harnessing the Potential of Aquaculture By-Products
Aquaculture, or fish farming, is a rapidly growing industry that supplies much of the world’s seafood. However, aquaculture also generates significant waste, including fish skin, bones, and other by-products. Tetis Biotechnology takes a different approach by turning these aquaculture by-products from sea bass, sea bream, and salmon into valuable raw materials that are safe for human use.
Through advanced extraction methods, we are able to extract collagen, proteins, and other bioactive compounds from these fish by-products, enriching our product range with sustainable ingredients. By utilizing these materials, we not only reduce waste but also create high-quality products that have a positive impact on both human health and the environment.
Marine Collagen: A Natural Beauty and Wellness Solution
One of our most popular products is marine collagen, a powerful ingredient that offers numerous health benefits. Derived from the scales and skin of fish, marine collagen is known for its high bioavailability, meaning it’s easily absorbed by the body. When incorporated into beauty and wellness products, marine collagen helps support skin elasticity, joint health, and overall vitality.
At Tetis, we ensure that our marine collagen is produced using the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our collagen is derived from sustainably sourced fish, and we utilize environmentally responsible methods to extract and refine it.
“Smart” Production: Sustainability at the Core
Tetis Biotechnology is committed to sustainability, not only in the products we create but also in the way we operate. We adopt a “smart” production approach, which focuses on minimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impact throughout our manufacturing processes. These efforts contribute to reducing our overall carbon footprint and make our production processes more environmentally friendly.
Contributing to Global Sustainability Goals
At Tetis Biotechnology, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to the greater good. By transforming marine waste into valuable products, we support the UN’s sustainability goals, particularly in terms of sustainable industry, innovation, and responsible consumption. Our commitment to using renewable marine resources, reducing waste, and minimizing our carbon footprint is part of our broader mission to contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
We’re excited to be a part of the global movement toward a more sustainable and eco-conscious world. With each new product we create, we continue to explore innovative ways to use marine resources responsibly and reduce our environmental impact.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, Tetis Biotechnology remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with marine-based innovation. Our ongoing research and development efforts will continue to explore new ways to harness the potential of the ocean while ensuring that our practices are sustainable and responsible.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you’re a business looking to incorporate sustainable, high-quality marine ingredients into your products or a consumer seeking eco-friendly, health-enhancing solutions, Tetis Biotechnology is here to help shape a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone.
