    The document discusses using egg shell waste to create a new pharmaceutical excipient and biodegradable packaging material. It aims to 1) utilize egg shell waste instead of disposal, 2) provide an alternative packaging to fossil fuel plastics, and 3) lessen environmental impacts. The methodology proposes washing, grinding, and breaking down egg shells into nanoparticles using ultrasonic waves before infusing them into a bioplastic mixture to create novel biodegradable packaging from an organic waste material.

    RATIONALE OF THE STUDY

    Eggproducts industries produce great amount of shells and their final destiny is an environmental
    impact challenge. This work was designed to prepare and evaluate calcium carbonate from egg
    shell because it has a potencial application in the development of a new option of pharmaceutical
    excipient. The lack of information on these subjects suggests that there is a promising area to be
    explored.

    Layer farms produce large amounts of shells, whose final disposal poses a
    challenge from the environmental standpoint.

    II. OBJECTIVES PROPOSED

    1. To be able to put egg shell wastes into good use and not simply disposed

    2. To provide an alternative packaging method using an organic material

    3. To lessen the use and consumption of fossil fuel derived plastics

    III. RELEVANT LITERATURE

    It is believed that methane is produced during the conversion of peat to coal. The conversion is
    believed to be a result of naturally occurring thermal and biogenic processes. Because of the
    mutual attraction between the carbonaceous matrix of coal and the methane molecules, a large
    amount of methane can remain trapped in-situ as gas adhered to the carbonaceous products
    formed by the thermal and biogenic processes. In addition to methane, lesser amounts of other
    compounds such as water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and heavier hydrocarbons, and sometimes
    small amounts of other fluids such as argon and oxygen, can be found within the carbonaceous
    matrix of the formation. The gaseous fluids which are produced from coal formations collectively
    are often referred to as "coalbed methane." Coalbed methane typically comprises more than
    about 90 to 95 volume percent methane. The reserves of such coalbed methane in the United
    States and around the world are huge. Most of these reserves are found in coal beds, but
    significant reserves may be found in gas shales and other solid carbonaceous subterranean
    formations which are also believed to have resulted from the action of thermal and biogenic
    processes on decaying organic matter.

    IV. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

    1. Wash the shells


    2. Grind up in polypropylene glycol
    3. Expose to ultrasonic waves tobreak the shell fragments down into nanoparticles
    4. Infuse some of these nanoparticles into 70/30 mixture of PBAT and PLa
