CHINYI EGGS TECHNOLOGY has developed a bio-calcium masterbatch derived from eggshells that can be used with a variety of plastics, introducing a new method for recycling eggshells.
Taiwan uses 876 million eggs every year, and if we stacked the eggshells produced every day, they would be as high as 2,120 Taipei 101 buildings. CHINYI EGGS TECHNOLOGY has developed a new approach for recycling eggshells in an attempt to reduce agricultural waste and the generation of plastic waste.
Bio-calcium from eggshells can be used with a variety of plastics
CHINYI EGGS TECHNOLOGY’s goal is to promote the circular utilization of entire eggs, and has made natural eggshells into a bio-calcium masterbatch derived from eggshells. This type of bio-calcium masterbatch can be used with a variety of plastics, including: PE, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PET, PP, EVA, PS, ABS, ABS/PC, rubber, PVC, PMMA, PLA, etc., and can replace 30-50% of the virgin plastic content. In addition, this eggshell bio-calcium masterbatch can also be used in formulations containing recycled or marine plastics.
Diverse applications of new plastics
Plastic made of bio-calcium derived from eggshells can naturally decompose under certain conditions. It has a wide range of applications, including: bottles and jars used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products;tableware, food storage bags, shopping bags, electronic products, and other consumer goods;foam mats and gym floors;and industrial packaging, pallets, barrels, and cases.
Benefits
- Compared with virgin plastic production, the use of the bio-calcium masterbatch from eggshells can reduce carbon emissions by 70%.
- This solution can reduce eggshell waste disposal and natural stone (calcium carbonate) reclamation.
- The company has used eggshells to develop diversified products, increase sources of income, and expand its business scale through export sales.
