In an era marked by increasing environmental awareness and the urgent need for sustainable

practices, the search for innovative ways to repurpose waste materials has gained significant
momentum. Among the many forms of household waste, eggshells are frequently discarded despite
their high calcium carbonate content, a compound commonly used in traditional chalk production. The
improper disposal of eggshells contributes to environmental pollution and waste accumulation, which
could otherwise be mitigated through creative reuse.

Traditional chalk, widely used in educational institutions, is primarily composed of calcium


carbonate. However, its production involves mining and processing of natural limestone, activities that
carry environmental costs such as habitat destruction, energy consumption, and carbon emissions.
Exploring alternative, eco-friendly materials for chalk production not only addresses the demand for
sustainable educational tools but also aligns with global efforts to reduce waste and promote circular
economy models.

This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing eggshells—an abundant and underutilized
waste product—as a primary ingredient in producing functional chalk. By transforming waste into a
valuable resource, the research aims to highlight the potential of simple, accessible materials in
contributing to both environmental conservation and educational innovation. The findings could offer a
low-cost, environmentally sustainable alternative to commercially manufactured chalk while raising
awareness about recycling and sustainability among students and communities.
