eco-shell

eco-shell™ is the registered trade name in Western markets for the original material GEX.

Same amazing compound, same amazing applications.

Game Changer

eco-shell™ bio-calcium is an award-winning, patented, and fully eco-certified plastic-reducer that can help your company reach its sustainability goals quickly and affordably. eco-shell™ bio-calcium begins as an agricultural waste that, through a patented process, is used to create a patented material that can easily and safely replace up to 50% of plastic content in a great assortment of plastic products.

  • Patented and Certified
  • Sustainably sourced
  • Can reduce plastic content 30-50%
  • 70% reduction in carbon emissions
  • Very stable and scaleable supply
  • Limitless applications
  • Compatible with most plastics
  • Certified anti-bacterial
  • Certified by SGS, EU RoHS, and REACH
  • High FIR emissivity rate

Unbeatable Solutions

We can help you reach your sustainability goals in two ways:

1. Virgin Plastic + eco-shell™ for immediate 20-50% plastic reduction

2. Recycled plastic + eco-shell™ (20-50% ) for zero virgin plastic goods

We can either work with your current manufacturer and provide them with eco-shell™ bio-calcium, or we can produce the goods ourselves in our partner factories across Taiwan.

The following products are all possible in varying degrees of eco-friendliness.

eco-shell™ > CaCO3

Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a ubiquitous additive to plastics. It can add strength to products and can allow us to more easily open plastic bags. Sometimes it is touted for being a plastic reducer or being eco-friendly, but this is simply not the case. in fact, there are many ways that eco-shell™ bio-calcium is the superior choice:

  • eco-shell™ is derived sustainably from bio inorganic substitute from eggshells and oyster shells. Mined CaCO3 is unsustainable and has a large carbon footprint.
  • Unlike mined calcium carbonate, eco-shell™ can work with a great many types of plastics, has greater bonds with the polymers, and is completely sustainable.
  • Its particles are much smaller, allowing for greater bonds. It is also softer and will not damage machinery like calcium carbonate can.
  • Instead of simply being a filler for plastic products, our eco-shell™ can be considered a plastic replacement and plastic reducer (30-40%, compared to 5-15% for mined calcium carbonate)
  • eco-shell™ has been certified by SGS, EU RoHS, and REACH to be eco-friendly in terms of plastic reduction and carbon reduction. We are also certified along these lines as adhering to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
  • eco-shell™ has already been adopted by Dell, HTC, LG and other industry leaders.
