Basse Stittgen : How do like you eggs? Like bakelite, perhaps?

Annually, an average of 6,4 billion hens lay 1,1 trillion eggs. Simultaneously one third of all food per year is lost or wasted which includes eggs that have short shelf life and whose fragile shell is not the most suitable protection against processing and transport. In the project ‘how do you like your eggs’ the content becomes container, an egg cup is produced from discarded eggs. In fact, damaged and b-stock egg whites and shells are thermoformed into bio-plastic cups with zero additives.  Jean-Paul Linnartz had a chat with Designer Basse Stittgen for World Design Embassies and Radio 4 Brainport.
