Pool Water Cleaner
Sea Clear
"Since its beginning, SeaKlear® has been a leader in supplying eco-friendly pool products. Our first product, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier, is made from all-natural chitosan—a substance derived from shrimp and crab shells.

Shrilk
Shrilk
"Postdoctoral fellow Javier Fernandez (right) and Don Ingber, director at the Wyss Institute, have created a new material made from discarded shrimp shells and proteins derived from silk called “shrilk.” It is thin, clear, flexible, and hard as aluminum at half the weight. Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil."

Industrial Lubricants
MAKO
MAKO OIL and other Mako Products contain deep sea fish oil extracted from the head and frame of fish after being filleted.

Fish oil has been used for centuries in the preservation of leather, timber and the protection of metals. It also has an unsurpassed natural lubricating ability. Fish oil was used in hydraulics long before synthetic and crude oil substances were invented because it did not damage rubber fittings, hoses etc.

Cosmetics
Does Lipstick Contain Fish Scales
"Fish scales are sometimes added to cosmetics such as lipstick and nail polish to give it the same shimmering affect that they give the fish. Of course, you won't find the ingredient ‘fish scales' on your cosmetic labels. Not unlike the fancy term ‘caviar' that has been given to fish eggs, fish scales that are ground into a shimmery additive for cosmetics are called ‘pearl essence' or ‘pearlesence'.

Under Eye Cream
Correcting Eye Rescue
"Chitosan Chitin and Chitosan are well-known natural biopolymers that occur in many organisms, such as crustaceans, insects, fungi and algae. Chitin is one of the most common natural polysaccharides. The most important source of chitosan (produces the most consistent quality) is shrimp shells from the species Pandalus Borealis from Norway."

Golf Tee
Green Tee
"This Green Tee consists of 30% marine waste and 70% regular Polyethylene resin. The marine waste is a unique blend of crab and shrimp shells."

Odour Control Product
Biofiltration uses shellfish byproduct for odour control
"Bord na Móna’s MónaShell enhanced biotrickling filter uses shells (a byproduct from the shellfish processing industry) in place of plastic media. Shells slowly release calcareous compounds, which neutralize acidic sulphur compounds. The result is effective pH control and sustained odour oxidation. MónaShell achieves up to 99 percent removal of odours, H2S, organic sulphides, and VOCs. Although the shell media is eventually consumed, with the exception of very high concentration regimes, life spans are similar to conventional filter media."

Compost
Quoddy Blend Lobster Compost
"Quoddy Blend is made from composted crab, lobster and aspen bark. The crab and lobster shells are a rich source of calcium and chitin, the aspen bark a source of tannins and lignins. It's a blend that's perfect for your vegetable garden, especially for your tomatoes! The calcium content is beneficial for lilacs and roses too.

Necklace

"EcoSeaTile has developed innovative ways to use waste lobster, mussel and clam shells discarded by the seafood processing industry. For years these shells have been considered trash and relegated to landfills. In collaboration with Shellstone, with its highly acclaimed and award winning products in the gift industry, EcoSeaTile has created a method of recycling this waste. The result is a series of stunning and eco-friendly products for your home or business."

Rust Proofing

KO-66 has a bituminous base, giving it that renowned sticking ability. It has a wax coponent which seals off the treated area, leaving the inner ingredients to stay moist and active to continue their penetrating and rust preventing work."

Fish Fertilizer
Segate Fish Fertilizer
Seagate Fish Fertilizer Concentrate (FFC) is an organic fertilizer derived from whole anchovies and sardines caught along the shores of Baja California. The highly concentrated powder in this container is made from and is the equivalent to 16 lbs. of whole fish. FFC is a multi-purpose long-lasting indoor/outdoor fertilizer that can be applied to flowers, trees, and vegetables, and last up to 4 to 5 months between applications."

Golf Balls
Fore! New biodegradable golf balls are made from lobster shells
"Golfers may soon be able to eat their lobster and hit it, too.

The University of Maine and the Lobster Institute, a joint Canada-U.S. industry organization, have teamed to produce a biodegradable golf ball made entirely from lobster shells previously destined for the scrap heap.

The crustacean-based spheres break down in less than two weeks, substantially less time than toxin-laced regular balls that scientists say can sit in woods and ponds for up to 1,000 years.

Glasses and Goggles
Erik de Laurens
"I created a surprising material made of 100% fish scales ( no added compound ). The fishing industry generates several circumstances where many tons of fish scales are leftover. Using this waste as resources for the production of his fish-scale-plastic, I tried to highlight the potentiality of these industrial flaw.
In order to test the material I have designed 3 pairs of goggles and glasses inspired by swimming goggles and a table with an inlay of a fish. I have also extended the range of colours in the tumbler previously designed. "

Fiber
Crabyon
"Crabyon fiber is realized with a blend of chitosan and viscose. Chitosan is a product derived from a compound of natural origin obtained from the shell of crab and shellfish."
