Shellworks is revolutionizing the packaging industry with its innovative material, Vivomer, which is designed to eliminate plastic waste. By harnessing the power of microbes, Shellworks creates a sustainable, home-compostable alternative to traditional plastics. Vivomer is not only stable and mass-producible but also biodegrades into natural constituents, ensuring that it leaves no harmful residues behind. This groundbreaking approach allows brands to package their products responsibly while contributing to a cleaner environment.
Their mission is to eradicate plastic pollution and foster a circular economy. They aim to break the reliance on petroleum-based materials by providing eco-friendly packaging solutions that prioritize sustainability without compromising on quality or functionality.
With 90% of all plastics ever created not being recycled, Shellworks exemplifies true sustainability by ensuring that their products can return to nature safely. Vivomer is designed to biodegrade in various environments, including home composting, without leaving behind microplastics or toxins, thus closing the loop on material usage.
To date, Shellworks has replaced over 900,000 plastic packaging units, showcasing their significant impact on reducing plastic waste. Their innovative approach not only supports brands in their sustainability goals but also actively contributes to environmental relief.
