Sea Stone is a sustainable material that is composed of natural, non-toxic ingredients and
binders.
Every year, 7 million tons of seashells are discarded by the seafood industry and aquaculture. Even though some of the seashells have been recycled and used as fertilizers, the majority of them are being thrown into landfills or by the seaside. The discarded seashells which are uncleaned or rotten have not been cleared away at all and have been piling up near the beach for a long time, thus, causing odour pollution and polluting the surrounding land in the long run.
Yet, these shells are materials with high potential,which consist of over 90% calcium carbonate,containing similar to the one of what calcium carbonate in the limestone contains and seen as a valuable biomaterial
Project ‘Sea Stone’ proposes the use of discarded seashells to create environmentally and economically sustainable material rather than contributing to the world’s rubbish problem. The method is currently carried out manually to avoid the use of heat, electricity and chemical treatments and ensure the process is a sustainable and affordable as possible. Moreover, it is expected to positively impact three effects such as reducing waste disposal costs, preventing marine pollution, and recycling waste by creating value-added products with artistic, aesthetic, and functional new uses
