00:0399% of Americans have no idea how it operates.
00:07Most people think fish farmed in China are just for food,
00:09but the real value comes from fish scales.
00:12Believe it or not, 100 grams of fish scales can be worth thousands of dollars.
00:17What most consider waste is actually white gold.
00:21Every morning, workers collect leftover fish scales from seafood processing factories,
00:25clean them, and remove blood, dirt, and tissue to prepare them for processing.
00:31Then, they heat the scales to extract collagen.
00:34The tough scales dissolve into a thick, transparent liquid.
00:38The liquid is poured into molds to cool and crystallize into a jelly-like substance.
00:43It's then cut into blocks or sheets for easy storage and transport.
00:47This collagen is widely used in frozen foods, desserts, beauty products, and supplements.
00:53What was once discarded is now a source of huge profits,
00:57turning waste into treasure.
00:59That's the true business model.
