SHELLMET

Shellmet: the helmet made from waste scallop shells

Shellmet is created by boiling and sterilising the collected shells, which are then finely crushed, mixed with the plastic and inserted into a helmet mould. The helmet's are used mineral and synthetic pigments to colour the material, available in either sunset pink, ocean blue, sand cream, coral white or deep black. Shellmet's materials can be recycled to remake another helmet or reused separately as building materials. Shellmet draws on biomimicry – a design strategy wherein systems found in nature are adopted by humans to solve problems.
