Scientists working out of Aveiro University have come up with an innovative way forward with eggshells.
They have discovered a way to turn crushed eggshells into ceramic products, like tiles.
The new technology would not only keep eggshells away from landfills - Portugal currently produces about 2600 tons of eggshell waste per year, which costs up to €122 per ton for transport and treatment - it would also save the ceramics industry huge amounts of money.
