Turn egg shells into plastics

'Working with an eggshell' is the slogan of a famous advertising TV channel in the UK. The 'green industry' here is also cherishing for me to plan to turn eggshells into bio-plastics!

Scientists at the University of Leicester in the UK are studying the process of extracting proteins found in eggshells. These are substances commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to save people from cartilage and connective tissue diseases.

'Eggshell is considered a discarded item but in fact it contains many other complex substances. They can have many benefits at different levels, both for the food industry as well as for other industries' , Richard Worrall, director of iNet Food and Beverage Group, the group spent one grants for the study.

Besides being environmentally friendly, recycling eggshell can save a great amount of money for the food industry.

Just Egg - mayonnaise production headquarters in the UK as well as producers of boiled eggs used 1.3 million eggs a week, creating approximately 10 tons of eggshell waste, equivalent to the industry will have to throw away 500 tons of shells with a total value of £ 30,000 ($ 48,000) per year.

'So it would be great if those eggshells were recycled into plastic packaging for us to use for other products. And if I don't have to spend £ 30,000 per year on the garbage collection fee, I can hire more workers or even improve the product line , 'said Pankaj Pancholi, Just Group's executive director.
