Product description

CALCOVO™ is a sustainable calcium carbonate powder derived from industrial eggshell waste. Using Circul’Egg’s patented, fully mechanical separation and fine-grinding process, the outer eggshell is transformed into a high-purity, bio-based CaCO₃ substitute for quarry-mined minerals. Free from chemical additives, CALCOVO™ offers industries a low-carbon alternative, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to fourteen times versus traditional extraction. Its whiteness, inertness, and particle uniformity make it ideal as a filler in materials for construction (e.g. cool-roof paints that reduce building interior temperature by up to 6 °C), nutraceutical capsules, animal feed, and sustainable biocomposites. Because it is sourced locally from eggshell suppliers in France, it supports shorter supply chains and regional job creation. CALCOVO™ responds to rising demand for biosourced, circular ingredients within sectors such as cosmetics, construction, pet food, and food supplements, enabling companies to improve their environmental footprint while maintaining product performance and compliance with eco-regulations.

About the Company

Circul’Egg is a French biotech startup founded in 2019, specializing in circular economy solutions by transforming eggshell waste into high‑value bio‑based ingredients. Operating in the agri‑food sector, the company partners with egg‑breaking facilities to capture more than 40,000 tonnes of eggshells generated annually in France. Through a patented, fully mechanical industrial process, it separates the outer shell (rich in calcium carbonate) from the inner membrane (rich in collagen, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate). These ingredients are marketed to industries such as pet food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, materials, and construction. Circul’Egg’s solution cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 14 times compared to typical recycling methods, promotes local value creation, and fosters durable regional jobs in rural areas. Its mission is to turn what was previously waste into sustainable raw materials, advancing both ecological impact and economic efficiency in industrial by‑product valorization.
