Sustainable packaging alternatives to plastic that don't compromise on performance or aesthetic.
At Shellworks we believe there is a better way to package products. After two years of experimentation and testing, we are launching Vivomer.
Vivomer is a completely vegan and compostable material, made with a little help from friendly microbes. We’re excited to introduce the future of packaging for a post-plastic world.
Consumers take on the burden of sorting their recycling, however, only 9% of plastics are effectively recycled with 12% being burned and the remaining 79% polluting our environment.
Grown by nature, our packaging performs like plastic but without the detrimental effects at its end of life, remaining benign to the environment as it’s consumed again by the same microbes that created it. Similar to tree branches, Vivomer will degrade organically given its origins are natural as well.
We’re excited to offer our first off-the-shelf products made from Vivomer. We make sustainability accessible to brands of all sizes, and work hard to meet your design and customisation needs.
We want to progress towards a cleaner, better world, and sustainability is at the core of every decision we make. Together, we can make plastic waste a thing of the past.
Our material scientists, chemical engineers, and biochemists are cracking the enigma of nature's own plastic to create something truly unique.
We culture microbes that eat carbon and turn it into beautifully functional material.
