- Abstract
- Embracing the concept of reusing waste materials, my project transforms discarded oyster shells into a versatile building material. The outcome is more than just a product; it’s a symbol of sustainable innovation. Utilizing discarded oyster shells, the project seeks to create functional and aesthetically pleasing items.
My goal with this project was to create a material solely from natural substances: oyster shells, fish glue, blue mussel shell, algae, potato starch, and wax. This closed-loop approach ensures minimal environmental impact, with the product’s end-of-life use as lime fertilizer enriching soil health.
This material will not only serve practical purposes but also symbolize the potential for harmony between human...
