What Circul'Egg does
Circul'Egg is a Paris-based circular-economy company, founded in 2019 and registered as SAS Circul'Egg in Antony, Hauts-de-Seine, that operates an industrial bio-upcycling process converting eggshell and egg-membrane co-products (waste from egg-breaking facilities, or casseries) into calcium carbonate and bioactive (collagen) ingredients for industrial B2B customers. The commercial offering is organized into four branded sub-products — REGGENERATE™, CHONDROVO™, CARBIO™, and CALCOVO™ — mapped onto four application verticals: nutraceutical, materials (paint, flooring), petfood, and cosmetics. Nutraceutical and materials are the company's primary target segments.
The core technology is a proprietary valorization process that takes a single high-volume waste stream and converts it into multiple high-value mineral and bioactive ingredient outputs. The legal entity is registered in Antony, the workforce is reported at 11-50 employees, and the company is building a dedicated industrial production site targeted for end-2024 commissioning, designed to process 3 to 5 tonnes of eggshells per day — a step-change from prior pilot capacity. Geographic operations are centered in France, but the website is localized in 12+ languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Danish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Finnish) and a dedicated sub-site exists for the REGGENERATE™ line, signalling international commercial intent.
Revenue mechanics are B2B ingredient sales on a quote-based, sales-led model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is direct via the company's own website and direct client relationships, and Circul'Egg emphasizes co-development with industrial buyers. Funding to date includes over €1 million in equity from a family office and business angels (May 2022), €70,000 in debt from Miimosa, and additional public funding-round data showing further raises in October 2023 from Ademe, Bpifrance, MovemenT & Finance, and Asterion Ventures. No revenue figure, customer count, or unit-economics data is disclosed in any source.

Circul'Egg product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Circul'Egg recycles industrial eggshell and egg-membrane co-products from egg-breaking facilities by transforming them into high-value-added ingredients — primarily a calcium carbonate powder and a shell-membrane (collagen) powder — sold to industrial B2B customers in the nutraceutical, materials (paint and flooring), petfood and cosmetic sectors under branded product lines (REGGENERATE™, CHONDROVO™, CARBIO™, CALCOVO™) and vertical ranges (Nutraceutique, Matériaux, Petfood, Cosmétique).
Product overview
Circul'Egg is a circular-economy company built around a single core platform: the valorization of industrial eggshell and egg-membrane co-products into high-value-added ingredients for downstream industries. On top of this shared feedstock/value chain, the company offers two layers: (1) four branded sub-products — REGGENERATE™, CHONDROVO™, CARBIO™ and CALCOVO™ — each addressing a specific ingredient use case, and (2) four application-oriented product ranges (Gamme Nutraceutique, Gamme Petfood, Gamme Matériaux, and Gamme Cosmétique) that map its egg-derived ingredients into the nutraceutical, petfood, materials, and cosmetics industries. The company is headquartered in Antony, France (46 rue de la cité moderne 92160 ANTONY) and is planning a new production site (target end of 2024) capable of processing 3 to 5 tonnes of eggshells daily.

Circul'Egg competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Biova LLC: Biova is a US-based supplier of water-soluble eggshell membrane ingredients for nutraceutical, petfood and personal-care applications. It is the closest direct competitor to Circul'Egg, monetizing the same eggshell/egg-membrane waste stream into branded ingredient lines sold B2B to overlapping verticals.
- ESM Technologies: ESM Technologies (now part of Stratum Nutrition) develops and markets eggshell membrane-derived ingredients targeted at joint health, mobility and skincare nutraceuticals. It directly competes with Circul'Egg's REGGENERATE™/CHONDROVO™-type offerings for the same nutraceutical and petfood formulators.
Emerging players
- Kaffe Bueno: Kaffe Bueno is a Copenhagen-based circular-economy startup that upcycles spent coffee grounds into cosmetic, nutraceutical and food ingredients. Like Circul'Egg, it transforms a single industrial food waste stream into a portfolio of branded B2B ingredients sold into nutraceutical and cosmetic verticals.
- Renewal Mill: Renewal Mill upcycles byproducts of food and beverage production (e.g., okara, brewers' grain) into flours and ingredients sold B2B to food and nutraceutical manufacturers. It mirrors Circul'Egg's circular-economy thesis of converting a single high-volume waste stream into a branded ingredient portfolio.
- ReGrained: ReGrained upcycles spent grain from craft brewing into protein flours and snack ingredients sold to food manufacturers. It is a thematic peer in the upcycled-ingredients space, applying a similar single-feedstock B2B ingredient model to a different food-industry waste stream.
Regional players
- InnovaFeed: InnovaFeed is a French agri-tech company that upcycles agricultural byproducts into insect protein for animal feed and aquaculture. It shares with Circul'Egg the French base, the circular-economy narrative, and the B2B sale of upcycled feed/food ingredients into industrial buyers.
- Ÿnsect: Ÿnsect is a French company that converts agri-byproducts into insect-based ingredients for petfood, aquafeed and fertilizer. It is a regional French circular-economy peer targeting the same petfood and materials-adjacent customers as Circul'Egg.
Broad incumbents
- Roquette: Roquette is a global leader in plant-based ingredients (starches, polyols, proteins, fibers) for food, nutraceutical and pharma markets. It is a broad incumbent that could compete with or absorb Circul'Egg's circular calcium/collagen ingredients, and serves as a benchmark for the scale at which Circul'Egg could eventually need to operate.
- Cargill: Cargill is one of the world's largest agri-food ingredient suppliers, with deep relationships across the nutraceutical, petfood and animal-nutrition verticals Circul'Egg targets. It represents the broad-incumbent competitive set whose buyer relationships and pricing power Circul'Egg must overcome.
- DSM-Firmenich: DSM-Firmenich is a global specialty ingredients supplier serving nutrition, health and personal-care markets with vitamins, carotenoids, bioactives and cosmetic actives. It competes with Circul'Egg across nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredient lines and represents the global incumbent benchmark in Circul'Egg's highest-margin verticals.
