Tens of thousands of tonnes of green mussel shells are discarded annually, primarily from seafood processing, leading to significant environmental and health problems.
Researchers are developing methods to transform these waste shells into pure calcium carbonate for use in cosmetics, health foods, and various industries, while residues can serve as fertilizer and aragonite sand for fish tanks, offering a sustainable solution and community-based economic opportunities.
