The Shellworks solves two global crises: shellfish waste (+6 million tonnes created globally each year) and plastic pollution (+8 million tonnes leaks into our oceans globally each year). We do this by turning waste crustacean shells into truly biodegradable, compostable products that are cost competitive at scale; providing an alternative to plastic that is easy to throw away without impacting the environment.
