Recycling Waste Fish Scales for Creative Design and Reuse through 3D Printing Technology

Fish scales are a type of aquatic waste that is difficult to recycle and easily generates unpleasant odors and bacteria. This project uses a simple, low-cost method to process fish scales into a material suitable for 3D printing and utilizes a homemade 3D printer to create various artistic designs. During the project, we organize multiple lectures and design workshops in different schools to raise awareness about the environmental issues caused by this aquatic waste through recycling and creative repurposing. Project members conduct field visits and interviews with stakeholders involved in the seafood waste process, including fish vendors, aquaculture operators, and aquatic food processors, aiming to discover potential recycling partners and establish a comprehensive waste fish scale recycling chain.
