What is eggshell membrane and how is it sustainably sourced?
-
It is the inner membrane inside the eggshell that would normally be considered waste material from the commercial egg industry.
-
Biova uses a byproduct that had no prior commercial application. It’s an upcycled “green” product.
-
Keeping more than 2 billion eggshells out of landfills annually!
Waste reduction and reclaiming waste material = Carbon footprint reduction

Eggshells are easier to process once the membrane is removed. The shells are then used for soil and feed supplementation.
Biova works in partnership with some of the largest egg-breaking facilities in the US to reclaim material that would otherwise find no use. Biova specializes in recovering this natural resource and creating specialty eggshell membrane nutritional ingredients for joint health, skin health and pet health, produced entirely from sustainably-sourced eggshell membrane.
