What EGGXPERT does
EGGXPERT B.V. is a Netherlands-based circular ingredients company founded in 2017 and headquartered at the historic ENCI site in Maastricht, Limburg, within the Brightlands materials and circular economy ecosystem. The company upcycles discarded eggshells into functional mineral and protein ingredients for industrial buyers, operating with a headcount of approximately five employees and supported by EU/LIOF co-financing.
The company's core technology is a proprietary mechanical separation process that fractionates eggshells into calcium carbonate and protein streams. It commercializes three branded product lines: WonderLime (calcium carbonate for industrial applications), WonderCare Nutrition (eggshell membrane protein for food and nutrition applications), and WonderCare Skin Care (hydrolyzed peptides for cosmetic formulations). The company has secured application-development partnerships with colorFabb in 3D printing filament and GreenShield SP in sun protection formulations, indicating downstream validation across industrial, nutrition, and personal care verticals.
EGGXPERT operates a B2B ingredients sales model, selling specialty functional inputs to industrial manufacturers, food and nutrition companies, and cosmetics producers. In addition to ingredient sales, the company offers R&D services for product development based on its eggshell-derived ingredient platform. Geographic focus remains European, anchored in the Dutch and EU circular economy funding environment.
