Reimagining Waste. Redefining Materials.

ShellCycle™ is innovating beyond conventional plastics, developing advanced materials from agricultural waste. Join us in building a sustainable future.

Transforming Waste Into the Next Generation of Sustainable Materials

ShellCycle™ is reimagining waste as a resource. We are developing an eggshell-based biocomposite that transforms discarded eggshells—an abundant, calcium-carbonate-rich waste material—into a functional material for consumer products.

Our Sustainable Solutions

Beginning with biodegradable Mardi Gras beads, our vision extends far beyond a single product. We are building a platform for innovative materials that support cleaner manufacturing, reduce waste, and strengthen the circular economy starting with our home town, New Orleans, LA. 

Innovation for a Sustainable Future

ShellCycle™ is developing more than a single biodegradable product—we are building a sustainable materials platform.

Our first commercial application is biodegradable Mardi Gras beads, using Louisiana's unique culture as a proving ground for innovation. Over time, we envision expanding into additional industries, including:

  • Consumer products
  • Promotional merchandise
  • Sustainable packaging
  • Specialty composites
  • Educational products
  • Other biodegradable material applications

By creating versatile, sustainable materials, we hope to help manufacturers reduce waste while embracing environmentally responsible alternatives.

 

 

Economic & Community Impact

Sustainability should benefit both the environment and the economy.

By transforming agricultural waste into higher-value manufacturing materials, ShellCycle™ aims to:

  • Create new opportunities for sustainable manufacturing
  • Strengthen partnerships with local restaurants, bakeries, schools, and food producers
  • Support Louisiana's growing Clean Technology economy
  • Encourage responsible resource use throughout the supply chain

As we grow, we also hope to inspire students, entrepreneurs, and future innovators to pursue careers in science, engineering, manufacturing, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

Traditional petroleum-based plastics can persist in the environment for decades or centuries.

 

Driving innovation for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Our vision is to become a leader in sustainable materials by transforming agricultural byproducts into innovative solutions that benefit industry, communities, and the environment.
