Congrats, Renova: First EPD and a market cue
Renova just stepped into the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration. This is a small document with outsized commercial weight. It clarifies what their eggshell membrane ingredient is responsible for and gives buyers a verifiable starting point instead of guesswork. In categories where EPDs are still rare, being first moves conversations from promises to proof.
What Renova just published
Renova has released its first ever EPD for an eggshell membrane ingredient, issued in April 2025. The declaration is published through EPD Hub and covers eggshell membranes used across health, beauty, and pet applications. The record reads as a product specific ingredient profile rather than a single finished SKU.
The developer or LCA consultant is not listed publicly in the registry entry. That is common for lean first releases where teams prioritize getting a credible baseline live.
Why this matters beyond the lab
An EPD is a nutrition label for environmental data. It tells procurement teams what they need to model real impacts, so they do not default to conservative placeholder values that quietly hurt selection. Momentum is also real. The International EPD System reported 9,395 new EPDs in 2025, a signal that verified data is becoming table stakes across sectors (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).
Where this lands competitively
Closest peers in eggshell membrane and upcycled egg ingredients include Biova and Stratum Nutrition, plus Eggnovo for European supply. As of February 3, 2026, we could not find public product EPDs for those companies in major operator libraries or on their websites. That gives Renova a credibility edge when buyers ask for third party verified numbers, not just claims.
Put simply, Renova has caught the early wave while others in the niche appear to be watching from the beach.

What this EPD likely covers
Ingredient wide scope fits how eggshell membrane is sold business to business. One declaration can support multiple customer formats, from powders to blends, as long as the core ingredient and production setup match what the EPD models. It also creates a baseline Renova can update as processes improve.
Company snapshot
Renova upcycles eggshells into high value materials. The portfolio centers on membranes for nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pet health uses, with additional calcium carbonate streams for industrial formulations and fillers. That positioning makes verifiable data useful on two fronts, consumer brand trust and enterprise procurement for ingredient specs. See the product family overview at renovainfo.com.
Program operator choice
Publishing with EPD Hub places the document in a fast growing registry that design teams and buyers already search. For many manufacturers this reduces friction on verification workflows and speeds time to a usable PDF that mirrors what specifiers expect.
Find it and use it
We looked for Renova’s EPD on their website and could not locate a public link or download. Visibility is key. Place the PDF on a clearly labeled sustainability or resources page, link it from the ingredient product page, and add it to sales decks so customers can reference the numbers. Do not bury it three clicks deep, visiblity beats mystery every time.
What teams should do next
Lock the EPD into your standard submittal package. Encourage customers to cite it in their own formulations and LCAs. When planning the next wave, pick the rulebook once and keep it consistent across similar ingredients so results remain comparable. And choose a partner who handles data wrangling and stakeholder coordination so your R&D and plant teams stay focused while the paperwork progess continues.
