The European project LIFE EGGSHELLENCE, funded by the European Commission through the LIFE program, and develops a prototype aimed at obtaining calcium carbonate from eggshell (Bio-CaCO3) for its subsequent use in the manufacturing of ceramic wall tiles.
The main objective is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of using eggshell as a secondary raw material in the manufacturing of ceramic wall tiles. For this purpose, an equipment will be developed to pre-treat the eggshell in order to separate the membrane from the shell itself, thus obtaining CaCO3 from a food industry waste. This will be a simple and low-cost process.
