Chitelix SA Powered by science, Guided by Impact

CHITELIX is a Tunisian biotech startup transforming invasive blue crab waste into high-value biomaterials like chitosan and marine calcium. Through our patented, modular biorefinery process, we upcycle seafood byproducts into eco-friendly ingredients for agriculture, cosmetics, and healthcare. Unlike competitors, we offer traceable, zero-waste tailored solutions that replace petrochemical inputs. With a growing product line, strategic partnerships, and rising global demand for sustainable alternatives, CHITELIX is positioned to lead Africa’s transition to a circular bioeconomy—generating impact for the planet, industry, and local communities.
