Potent Biomaterials and Emission-Free Limestone

Our limestone stands out as a sustainable option, offering carbon-neutral, biobased, and recycled alternatives to conventional limestone. With prime quality attributes including high calcium carbonate content (95%), whiteness surpassing 90%, and homogeneous quality, all at a competitive price, it’s the ideal choice for environmentally-conscious and budget-conscious manufacturing processes.

Economic Problem
Hygienization and waste management are costly for the egg processing industry, averaging 80-100€ per ton, greatly impacting financial calculations in such cent-sensitive operations.

Environmental Problem
Every day, 3.8 billion eggs are produced worldwide, with 1.2 billion processed directly, generating 12,000 tons of waste daily. Eggshell waste is a significant issue, ranked 15th in food industry pollution by the EPA, impacting soil, people, and animals.

Ecological Problem
The rapidly growing global demand for raw materials is encountering scarce availability, fluctuating supply chains and consequently rising prices.

To ensure top-notch material quality for Protegg materials, we‘ve pioneered an innovative upcycling process. This cutting-edge process efficiently converts mass residue into premium raw materials, all while being eco-friendly and energy-efficient. For deeper insights, we‘d love to discuss it further with you.

The conversion of residual material into Protegg® ESM forms the basis for producing Protegg® Bio-Plastic, paving the way for applications in (bio)sensors, bioplastics, bio-packaging, and filter technology. With Protegg® bioplastic’s unique capacity to embed (bio-)molecules, we find sensor technology and brand protection particularly intriguing.
