Background

About Carter Knowles

At Eco Shell, I focus on business development and market expansion, working with industries ranging from filtration, coatings, composites, and abrasives to specialty chemicals and bio-based materials. My role is equal parts technical matchmaking and opportunity scouting — I collaborate with R&D teams, engineers, and procurement professionals to identify where walnut shell can outperform traditional materials on performance, sustainability, or cost. If you’re exploring renewable fillers, lightweight media, oil absorption, cleaning agents, or biodegradable reinforcement materials, there’s a good chance walnut shell has a role to play — and I’ll help you figure out how. Always open to conversations around new applications, product development, or partnerships in sustainable materials.
