Recent News about Circul'Egg
EditCircul'Egg is a French startup founded in 2020 that operates in the circular economy sector. The company's primary focus is on the sustainable valorization of industrial by-products, specifically eggshells and membranes. Circul'Egg's business model revolves around transforming these often-discarded materials into high-value ingredients for other industries, essentially turning organic waste into a valuable resource.
The company serves a broad range of clients, including industries that use calcium carbonate and collagen in their products. Circul'Egg's patented mechanical process transforms eggshells, which are 96% calcium carbonate, into a powder that can substitute for traditionally mined calcium carbonate. This product offers a lower heavy metal content and better bioavailability of calcium, making it a more sustainable and nutritionally superior alternative.
Circul'Egg also extracts collagen and hyaluronic acid from the inner eggshell membrane, creating another valuable ingredient for industries such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The company's innovative approach to waste valorization not only reduces the environmental impact of waste but also creates new revenue streams from previously discarded materials.
In terms of revenue, Circul'Egg makes money by selling these upcycled, bio-sourced, and decarbonized ingredients to other industries. The company's mission is to "do more with less," demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and the circular economy.
