This is a great solution to the immense amount of shell waste since shells can cause soil contamination if left on the ground, which is a legitimate cause of concern for the village and its residents. Not only does transforming shells into plastic reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but it also makes the final material stronger and more resilient. And Shellmet is the first product to be created using the innovative material Shellstic! \u201cWe aimed to create a sustainable product with minimal burden on the environment,\u201d said Shintaro Monden, the designer of the product.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-416419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/images-this-minimalist-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/shellmet_helmet_waste_shells_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/09\/this-minimalist-and-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This minimalist and environmentally-friendly helmet is made from waste scallop shells\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/images-this-minimalist-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/shellmet_helmet_waste_shells_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-416419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/images-this-minimalist-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/shellmet_helmet_waste_shells_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/09\/this-minimalist-and-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This minimalist and environmentally-friendly helmet is made from waste scallop shells\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/images-this-minimalist-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/shellmet_helmet_waste_shells_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6509b2afa26b8121fadddd79-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"6509b2afa26b8121fadddd79-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The hardhat helmet borrows the ribbed structure of scallop shells, which in turn adds 30 percent more strength to the helmet, as compared to regular helmets with their typical flat design. Besides being minimal and sturdy, Shellmet comes in a variety of five fun colors \u2013 Coral White, Sand Cream, Ocean Blue, Deep Black, and Sunset Pink (all inspired by the sea). The helmet will be available for sale to the public in March 2023. The designers also hope that they can convince the 250 fishermen in the village to ditch their regular plastic helmets, and adopt Shellmet instead! They also intend to encourage Shellmet to be utilized for emergencies such as earthquakes and dangerous weather.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-415243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/shellmet\/shellmet_helmet_yanko_design_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/09\/this-minimalist-and-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This minimalist and environmentally-friendly helmet is made from waste scallop shells\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/shellmet\/shellmet_helmet_yanko_design_04.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-415243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/shellmet\/shellmet_helmet_yanko_design_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/09\/this-minimalist-and-environmentally-friendly-helmet-is-made-from-waste-scallop-shells\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This minimalist and environmentally-friendly helmet is made from waste scallop shells\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/shellmet\/shellmet_helmet_yanko_design_04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5' style=\" margin: clear: both>\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"9466393889\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n<span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Srishti Mitra<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
