Early Research & Vision

The three founders of Krill Design met while working at Milan Polytechnic, one of Italy's leading universities. They were sure that something could be done with fruit peel to make it useful as a new material for a sustainable world. They set about doing some early research thinking about potato peels and egg shells before focussing their efforts on re-using orange peels.

The Krill Design Vision

FOOD WASTE AS A RESOURCE

The consideration of the founders was quite simple. There are already several supply chains that intercept and recover waste from the production of paper, glass and plastic. But for organic by-products of the food chain, there are no virtuous solutions.

They converted this problem into an opportunity, experimenting with the creation of innovative materials, which when combined with 3D printing, enable a successful and environmentally friendly production process.

Avoiding Plastic and reducing CO2

Not only is the Rekrill® material a fabulous re-use of fruit peel which would otherwise be discarded but when used for new products like the Smart Phone holders, it avoids the use of plastic and reduces the amount of CO2 used. Krill Design have estimated that a Smart Phone holder made with Rekrill® has an 87% lower CO2 footprint than the equivalent product made with plastic.

Awards

Krill Design have won numerous awards. One of the most significant was in 2022 they won the Best small company in the Circular Economy in Italy award. They are also a certified B-Corp.
