Skjellatin – Bio-Based Binder Innovation
In November 2023, Norskin launched 'Skjellatin' in collaboration with Cermaq Norway AS and Salmon Group, with R&D contributions from Nofima and Biotep.
This pilot project focuses on developing industrial processes for the production of a binder component based on gelatin from fish scales, with funding from Innovation Norway’s environmental technology scheme and the Green Collaboration initiative from our local bank, SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge.

Bio-plastic study - phase 2
After successfully completing phase 1 of our R&D project with Nofima, we are now continuing our project by looking into testing our fish scale bio-plastic in food packaging.
The background for this project was to satisfy the demands to reduce single-use plastic in the market.
A pilot project has been implemented with ODA and Huseby Gård, where the aim is to use the bio plastic in packing vegetables for the online grocer.
Project with Nofima and MABIT
Early summer 2021 Norskin teamed up with Nofima and MABIT and completed the first stage of a research and development study to extract gelatin from fish scales in order to create bio-plastics to be used in product packaging.
The main goal of the project was to find a process of extracting gelatin from fish scales that could be used on a large-scale basis and perform analyzes on the product to find if it is of good enough quality so it could be included in bioplastics.
