If it is mixed with the right plastic it could be made into SHELLOPHANE. OK, I will follow you out….

If you grind up the shells, they work great for gravel roads and driveways.

[@butter7734]

It's also fertilizer.

[@dolphinbear1]

And grounded shells is good for chickens too if ya mix it in their food

[@ronnielee33]

[@morghana3775]

This was the first thing I thought, as well. I live in the country, we have a gravel roads. Really could use a couple of truck loads of oyster shells in my drive way right now..

[@CharlesSmith-io9fp]

I was a bit surprised by no mention of what I think would be an obvious use. These shells have a high calcium content. Would they be useful ground up to make Clamcrete? A type of concrete to use as building material. I would think it would produce a very hard material useful in wet environments. Just a thought.

[@Richard-r1x7d]

Yes I think you are right

[@mikeysmule]

That was my first thought too! Grind to sand and use for concrete!

[@paulgamez2713]

[@brendaharris1228]

We used to put broken clam shells for the driveway in new england

[@AncientWildTV]

Some researchers and builders have experimented with using crushed oyster and clam shells in concrete. In areas with abundant shellfish, this practice can provide a local and sustainable building material. Do you know examples of similar materials being used in construction?

[@geraldtrudeau3223]

I recall seeing some place on KZbin that talked about Roman concrete, and how the Romans put oyster shells into their concrete and it's one of the reasons why it lasts so long.

[@brandiwatkins2135]

Interesting. Wonder if oyster cloth is another reason XP is in such a tizzy to take over Taiwan, or does he just really like oysters?

Grinding up the oyster shells is an excellent calcium supplement for chickens or other poultry. Seems like they could collect these shells up and process in large batches for agriculture. Also they can be ground up and used as a calcium fertilizer for plants.

[@bmclean2083]

Interesting video…I just bought a bag of oyster shells from my local farm store, to add to my chicken feed (it helps make strong egg shells).

[@mikefiatx19]

If the shells are mixed with plastic how can you say the fabric has no chemicals.

[@JustSomeGuyLV]

Not only that but literally everything is chemical.. The water you drink, the air you breath, your body, everything is made of chemicals. There's difference between chemicals and hazardous compounds.

My beloved Granmama harvested oysters besides owning a grocery store on the coast of Texas. She'd have the shells washed in some kind of powder than have her sons and their friends spread them on the street where we lived and she had her grocery store. The teens would break the shells and they would get a soda and a sandwich for their help. Anyway, my beloved granmama covered the whole street with the broken shells. Our streets would be flooded up to our knees. and the shells took care of that problem.

Great idea for the white paint of calcium oyster shells. One would think that the plastering/painting of the Greek village houses with whitewash would use this calcium ingredient in their paints - and create a worldwide oyster shell white paint ingredient for interior latex and enamel paint housing and building construction.

[@randallwithee2189]

You forgot about Roman Concrete. Ground oyster shells can be used to make concrete that can heal itself when it cracks. That's how so many ancient concrete structures are still standing after thousands of years later, and we can't make concrete that lasts a hundred years. Replace the concrete lime industry, that is so bad for the environment, with turning Oyster shells into quick lime. Another problem solved.

[@phlebgrl6064]

The shells could be repurposed by crushing them up and adding them into road paving material. New Jerseys mixes broken glass into their road paving material. What a waste

[@dertyp4043]

sorry but no! this sea wool product is just a nother polymerized mineral composite that is hard to recycle or decompose. it would be better to try and burn the shells into cement.

[@doombringer1505]

The fabric was a surprising use. The white paint is highly practical. But I didn't see the shell being ground up into a fine dust, used with cement, to make bricks or blocks. ( As in building supplies). On a large scale, make into concrete curbs, sea-walls and even dams. Pretty much a "free" product, why not?

[@anitamoolman168]

The heading reads about dead clams and the story is all about oysters. It shows how some of the KZbin stories lie to get your attention

[@lainiwakura1776]

Eh, not a fan of polyester in the slightest, even mixed with oyster shells. See, if you're wearing polyester and somehow catch fire, your clothes will not not burn, they will melt into your skin, causing some horrific burns.

[@407lastname7]

Not just that aspect. Even just having that crappy material on makes me feel like I'm heating up. It doesn't breath like cotton does. Those wicking materials only make the sweat move to the outer of the garment and then hold the sweat and body heat there. Polyester is horrible for clothing but makes it so people can be lazy and not have to fold their laundry after the dryer finishes. It's getting harder to get cotton clothing that is durable. Without paying thru the nose for it.

[@lesliecarter7605]

I was going to make the comment about South Carolina use an oyster shells to create more oyster beds, but you mentioned about Florida doing it so I still had to mention it because it’s a different state. I wish Georgia would do it.

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

Fun fact, I've never seen an Olympic swimming pool in person so that comparison means very little to me.

[@lindajohnson9282]

Surely it’d be cheaper and easier to crush the shells and press them into some kind of limestone bricks for building houses. The process would be cheaper and easier than making fabric, and would be more useful than just laying down roads and driveways. Just sayin’… and if anyone ends up using my idea, I’m happy to accept royalties lol 😊

Why can't you compost them? Shells are calcium which is very good for soil.

We all know that plastic gives off a toxic smoke, and as you mentioned, so does burning oyster shells. So, in theory, that would make the oyster/plastic yarn highly flammable and extremely toxic. If that textile factory burnt down, the same thing could happen to all those workers that happened at that e-bike repair shop where they all died from the toxic fumes coming from the lithium batteries.
