L2M-Conversion of Seafood waste to nanoparticles for applications in Agriculture, Medicine, Waste Water Treatment and Renewable Energy

This project aims to convert seafood waste such as shells, bones, and seaweed trimmings into valuable nanoparticles using nanotechnology. Instead of discarding these materials, they will be transformed into eco-friendly products for use in agriculture, medicine, wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. The nanoparticles will help improve soil health, enhance crop nutrition, clean polluted water, and support the development of green energy technologies. This approach not only reduces environmental pollution but also creates new economic opportunities by turning waste into useful, high-value materials. The partner organization will benefit through access to innovative, sustainable technologies that can be commercialized across multiple sectors, promoting both environmental and economic growth.
