World-First Biomaterials and Biogenic Limestone

Protegg’s cutting-edge technology upcycles industrial waste from the egg-cracking industry, transforming it
into valuable resources. The result? Protegg BiogeniCC, virtually emission-free and high-quality limestone and Protegg ESM, the foundation for our world first biomaterial.

Welcome to the World of Protegg® Materials

Protegg® BiogeniCC

Our high-purity Protegg® BiogeniCC is a circular calcium carbonate with a wide range of applications derived from eggshells. As a sustainable alternative to GCC, it is ideal for use in paints, coatings, plastics and a variety of other industries.

Key Benefits:
– Prime Quality: High whiteness and homogeneous quality
– Significant reduction of CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 3)
– Improved ESG KPIs
– Seamless integration into existing industrial processes without disruption

Protegg® ESM

Protegg® ESM is sourced from the eggshell membrane and features a unique protein composition. It forms the basis of our groundbreaking, world-first Protegg® Biomaterial, a plastic substitute whose carrier properties enable the functional integration of biomolecules, opening up applications in medical technology, brand protection and more.

Key Benefits:
– 100% bio-based and fully biodegradable
– Exceptional carrier properties with broad future potential
– No chemical modifications or synthetic polymerization

Our Solution: Protegg Upcycling Technology

The Protegg Upcycling Technology offers a groundbreaking solution to the eggshell residue problem. By transforming eggshell waste into valuable raw materials, our system drastically reduces waste management costs for the egg cracking industry, significantly improving profitability.

Environmentally, we eliminate tons of waste daily, reducing the industry‘s environmental footprint and contributing to healthier ecosystems. Ecologically, our technology addresses the global raw material shortage by providing an alternative, sustainable source, stabilizing supply chains and lowering dependence on limited resources.

Protegg® our future.
