Hand-pressed into shapes the seashell tray combines oyster and mussels shells with 100% plant-based, fermented corn starch for a non-toxic, recyclable and hot-compostable product.

A by-product of the local, industrial seafood production, abundantly available and with no value to anyone else, seashells are also treasured for their impressive aesthetics and chemical composition as a rich source of calcium carbonate.

Please note: Due to the organic nature of the raw material two products will never be quite the same and may vary slightly in shape and size.
