The Tough Tech problem we are solving
Millions of tons of crustacean shells from seafood processing are discarded annually as waste, rich in valuable biopolymers like chitin, fueling environmental burdens while demand surges for sustainable alternatives to petroleum plastics. Traditional extraction uses harsh chemicals and energy-intensive processes, blocking scalable, low-impact circular manufacturing.
About our solution
Kykloris employs a proprietary process to transform seafood shell waste into high-purity, high-performance chitosan for next-generation biomaterials in packaging, textiles, and coatings. This efficient, scalable approach replaces fossil-based plastics, cuts emissions, diverts waste, and equips industries with renewable solutions for a regenerative, climate-resilient future.
