Protegg: 12,000 tons of waste are generated daily in egg production. The Munich-based startup Protegg is taking on the challenge of transforming these waste materials into new raw materials, in keeping with the circular economy. In an interview, founders Markus Johanning and Fabian Hütter explain what their plan is: "We have created a very significant challenge for ourselves with the introduction of new raw materials into the raw materials market. ESM is a completely new raw material, bioplastic made from ESM is a world first, and we must first convince stakeholders from all sectors to try out and use innovative raw materials and applications."
