Shell Homage

Global award winning biodegradable composite material out of Egg & different nut shells and food waste.

Shell Homage is a biodegradable composite materials / products made from discarded

eggshells and various nutshells. Founded by the multidisciplinary Egyptian designer

Rania Elkalla based on her bachelor’s and master’s research projects.

The created biodegradable material serves as a replacement for oil-based plastics and

can be applied in several functional applications such as interior design , lighting design,

furniture design, home accessories, consumable goods, 3D printing, fashion, and jewelry

design. Shell Homage bio composite material resembles marble, natural stones, rubber,

or glass, but are made from food waste (Egg) + (Nut) and vegan colors extracted from

food waste.

We perceive “waste” as one material being transformed into another. We see value in

everything, and we want to help others see that too.
