Krill makes its products from a proprietary material called Rekrill, which is created by grinding down food waste into a fine powder that is mixed with a plastic alternative to create "pellets," which are then turned into a filament for 3-D printers.

Products like the "Ohmie" lamp are printed hollow to reduce cost and printing time. On average Ohmie takes three hours to be printed.

Eventually, the company aims to sell the Rekrill filament, so that businesses can 3D print their own products.
