Separating eggshell and its membrane to turn eggshell waste into valuable source materials.

Eggshell is a valuable source material or additive for numerous branches of the industry, such as, among others fodder and fertilizer producers, paper manufacturers. Numerous types of collagens, hyaluronic acid, or amino acids of interest may be extracted from the egg shell membrane and purified for numerous uses (e.g. dietary supplements, cosmetics or ), which makes the separated eggshell membrane a highly valuable material. This way the egg producers could avoid the cost of waste disposal, moreover they can make extra profit by selling their side product.

The main goal of the project is to develop a method for the industrial-scale separation of avian eggshell and its membrane. This core process will be followed by a drying and packaging mechanism to make the way-to-market easy. This will provide an easy solution to the waste problem of egg processors and putting to the market a valuable raw material for the industry.
