To make plastic waste a thing of the past.
Single use plastic has become an overwhelming environmental problem. Hundreds of millions of million metric tonnes of plastic are produced every year, and the vast majority of this is not recycled. Shellworks is setting out to provide a solution by using bacteria found in soil and marine environments to create alternative compostable vegan packaging, which performs like plastic until it is disposed.
The company is currently focused on addressing the beauty and personal care industry. Its new material, Vivomer, can be broken down in any natural environment and can be used for products like cream containers, lipstick applicators, and serum dispensers. This has attracted conscious and luxury brands, including BYBI, Liha, and Sana Jardin.
Having raised seed funding in 2022, Shellworks is now focused on hiring for its operational, science, and product teams, as well as investing in tech innovation and expanding its platform of materials.
