OYSTERPLUS™ reduces the environmental impact of conventional plastic with bio-based carbon sourced from oyster shells. This technology improves the mechanical characteristics of plastic, reduces processing times, temperatures and the dependence on fossil fuel-based resins.
Bio-based plastic, made from renewable sources, has long been seen as a viable alternative to fossil fuel-based plastics. Depending on the source, bio-based plastics can shrink carbon footprints, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and play a huge role in the circular and regenerative economy models. However, only 2 million tons of bio-based polymers are produced annually; in comparison, over 380 million tons of fossil fuel-based plastics are produced annually around the world.
Our OYSTERPLUS™ technology significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuel sources to create plastic products. This productive step allows for companies to start replacing fossil fuels with bio-based calcium carbonate that is sourced from oyster farms during harvesting. This technology can reduce fossil fuel-based resin in products by up to 50%.
Oyster shells are already a powerful tool for sequestering carbon. By turning them into a bio-based resin we are able to cut carbon footprints, transition plastic to bio-based sources, and use their natural strength to create a product that is jam-packed with sustainable solutions.
