- Eggshell-based ceramics and bioplasticsEggshells, a globally abundant food waste, are increasingly recognized as a sustainable feedstock for innovative materials such as ceramics and bioplastics. Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate serves as a low-carbon alternative to mined limestone in ceramic production. Eggshells are also revolutionizing bioplastics as a biobased filler and biodegradability enhancer.

- Eggshell inlayThe fragile eggshell is inlaid into one of nature’s most durable products, lacquer. Eggshell inlay uses duck eggs that have already hatched. A range of coloration can be achieved. Artisans puzzle out patterns of irregular geometry.
- Eggshell CeramicAtelier LVDW developed a biodegradable but strong material out of the eggshells which can be a sustainable replacement for single use plates. The material can easily be recycled into calcium water, which can be used as a nutrient for lime-loving plants. This project creates an extra “dot” in this materials lifecycle. The studio designs decorative art objects and planters with this material.
