At the 2025 China International Meat Industry Expo, the release of probiotic sustained-release collagen casing has attracted industry attention. This functional product, which integrates nanofiber reinforcement technology, has not only passed the EU EN13432 environmental certification, but also surpassed REACH regulations with heavy metal residue control technology. It has signed an export order of 5000 tons on site, an increase of 50% compared to the same period last year.
According to the head of the R&D team, the new product took two years to develop and adopts the nanocellulose reinforcement technology jointly developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Its tensile strength reaches 28.5MPa, and it is also embedded with slow-release probiotic strains, solving the pain point of insufficient functionality of traditional casings. The carbon footprint of the product is reduced by 65% compared to traditional casings, fully complying with the EU's new Animal By Product Health Regulation 2025. The testing report presented by the person in charge shows that the new product outperforms international standards in 11 indicators such as heavy metal residues and microbial control.
The manager of the international trade department of the enterprise revealed that with the help of RCEP tariff preferential policies, this functional sausage has entered the supply chain of the five major meat product companies in Europe. We have synchronously built a blockchain traceability system, which can complete raw material traceability verification in just 3 seconds, "the manager said. The proportion of customized products for the EU market has increased from 20% in 2024 to 45%, and it is expected that the output value of functional casings will account for 35% of the company's total revenue this year.
Industry analysts point out that as the size of China's intestine market exceeds 4.5 billion yuan by 2025, functional intestine and halal certified products will become the main growth drivers. The technological breakthrough of this enterprise confirms the trend of "industrialization of new materials", with a utilization rate of 80% for its domestically produced collagen casing production line and a 42% decrease in unit cost compared to 2020, providing replicable experience for industry transformation.
