Upcycle seafood waste
Chitosan extracted from shrimp shells, crab shells, and other seafood streams is transformed into a high-value ingredient for healthier products and cleaner water.
ChitoVitaContact usTurning the sea's waste into nature's cure.
We transform millions of tons of shrimp shell waste into high-performance chitosan solutions for clean water, wound healing, and smarter packaging.
From waste to two breakthroughs
ChitoVita uses circular chemistry to convert an overlooked waste stream into biodegradable products for environmental and human health.
Clean industrial water
A biodegradable alternative designed to bind metals and pollutants, helping industries reduce environmental impact without adding persistent waste.
Heal chronic wounds
Chitosan-based wound care materials support moisture balance, protection, and faster healing for long-term skin injuries.
One waste stream. Two high-value applications. Zero compromise on performance.
What's inside? Smart biopolymers
Chitosan is a natural, bioactive polymer that can be tuned into materials for water purification, wound care, packaging, and agricultural support.
