The use of existing materials ultimately constitutes a form of recycling.
Granulated oyster shells (approx. 50% content) and a plant-based polymer (approx. 50% content) are used to create an innovative composite material that can be processed using injection moulding.
The size, outer shape and relief representation of logos and text are determined in an injection moulding tool. The composite material is heated until it melts and then injected into the negative mould under high pressure. The cavity of the mould is completely filled with the mass. After cooling in the mould, a sustainable object is created which can be used, for example, as a hang tag with a security seal for all kinds of items for brand identification.
Depending on the composition of the oyster shell granulate, a number of natural colours can be achieved. The visual impression of the surfaces is reminiscent of minerals due to a certain texture. Depending on the design of the inner surfaces of the moulds, matt or glossy surfaces can be achieved.
