Shellworks raises $6.2m
Summary
These plastic bottles and containers end up in landfills or the ocean, polluting the environment and harming wildlife. Whilst much has been focused on single-use plastic in the food industry, the beauty and personal care space is just as challenging. Around 120 billion units of plastic are created every year by the entire industry, of which only 14% makes it to a recycling centre. The result is both material and tooling ready to produce parts at scale, which Shellworks then works with external partners across the UK to create. This rigorous attention to detail doesnt stop at the material but also extends into the design of their packaging solutions which look and feel beautiful to appeal to both conscious and luxury brands alike including BYBI, Liha and Sana Jardin with more brands set to be announced later this year.Once a product found in Shellworks Vivomer packaging is finished, the packaging can either be reused or placed in a personal compost or industrial compost bin, where it is broken down enzymatically.
