ThefoundersofESP*haveduringyearsbeenopera2ngwithmanyso-calledsustainabletechnologiesbringingvariousfeaturestothe lifecycleofplas2cspackagingandsingleuseproducts.

Searching fora“low impactoncarbon footprintandeconomytechnology”broughtESP intoa technique to refineabio-marinewastematerial sourcedfrom sea shell. The shells beinga realwaste generatedatoyster farms, arecollected, refinedandprocessed intopelletswhicharemadeadaptableandviabletothebeusedbyplas2cspackagingindustry.

The product is called oysterlean™ The carbon footprint of oysterlean™ ismore than 5 ,mes lower than of conven2onal plas2cs like polyethylene(PE).ThusESPachieveda“lowimpactoncarbonfootprint”andinaddi2onaproductverystableinpriceduetotheuseofawastebiorenewablematerialalsoallowingalowimpactontheeconomy.
