Kodak Company

Dear Alexsandro:

Thank you for contacting Eastman Kodak Company regarding whether Kodak photo paper uses gelatin from an animal source.

Gelatin is made from bones and the liming process.  There is no other way to make gelatin.

Eastman Kodak Company (and all other film manufacturers) uses rendered cattle bone from beef production to make gelatin used in film production. Gelatin derived from bone waste material is an environmentally-preferable way to dispose of unwanted bone, compared to disposal in a landfill.

Kodak uses non-animal-based polymer mixtures to reduce the amount of gelatin used. While Kodak has researched alternatives to replace bone-derived gelatin, it's not possible to completely replace gelatin w/ alternative materials at this time.

In addition, Kodak developed & uses technology to produce thinner gelatin layers on film. This further reduces the amount of gelatin present in a roll of Kodak film.

Recently, Kodak has been selling an electronic camera system to capture images which can be transferred to a personal computer & printed. This option provides an opportunity for individuals to avoid the use of
gelatin-based photographic materials.

Thus w/ Kodak products, the consumers have the option of using: - Standard photographic film which uses technology to reduce gelatin, or can opt for - The electronic (digital) camera system, which replaces film w/ an electronic image capture system and output materials (papers) that do
not require gelatin emulsions.

Thank you for visiting the Kodak website.  Should you have future questions on Kodak products or services, please call us at 1-800-242-2424, ext 19 (Monday-Friday, 9:00am-7:00pm EST) or revisit our website as we are continually adding more information and features to enhance our service.  http://www.kodak.com
