SHELLMET｜Protect Heads, and the Earth.｜English version

Scallops are the shellfish that Japanese people eat the most. It was also the shellfish whose shells were discarded the most. Could shells, which used to protect from outside enemies, be transformed into something that protects people’s lives? We at Koushi Chemical are breathing new life into these discarded scallop shells. A completely new helmet, strong and gentle, is born. ｜FEATURES｜ Shellmet upcycles scallop shells that would have otherwise been discarded. In addition, by using bioplastic “Shellstic” made from scallop shells as raw material, CO2 emissions are reduced by approximately 50%, making the helmet environmentally friendly. Based on the idea of biomimicry, Shellmet incorporates a special rib structure in its design that mimics the structure of scallops, which are part of the material. As a result, we have achieved a strength approximately 33% greater than normal. Official Site: #SHELLMET #SHELLSTIC
