about
SHELLTEC is
A new shell-based
material* made in Japan.
Every year, nearly 500,000 tons of
scallop shells are discarded as waste.
We saw the potential of these shells as
a new resource rather than as waste.
The calcium carbonate contained in scallop shells
is well known and used as a raw material for
building materials such as cement and plastics.
SHELLTEC is a new environmentally friendly
shell based material made from
discarded scallop shells and recycled plastic.
First in Japan to combine scallop shells and recycled
plastic. (proprietary research)
features
Environmental Performance
An environmentally friendly material
that reduces
environmental impact
Compared to using 100% plastic,
SHELLTECH reduces CO2 emissions by up to 36%.
Even compared to
limestone-based eco-plastics,
it is up to 20% more energy efficient.
features
Durability
Not just ecological.
But more durable.
By using shells instead of plastic,
the durability (Flexural modulus) has been
improved by about 33% compared to
new plastic. The material is not only
environmentally friendly, but also functional.
features
Recycling
After after disposal,
they can be crushed and reused.
SHELLTEC is a material that can be continuously
remade and reused as a new product.
Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable society
by creating a perpetual system where
discarded shells can be recycled over and over again.
