Can Shrimp-Shell Waste Actually Remove Heavy Metals from Water?<\/a><\/h2>

Aug 26, 2026<\/span><\/p>

Shrimp shells do not immediately look like a water-treatment material. They are a biological waste composed largely of minerals, proteins and chitin, generated in substantial quantities by the seafood industry. Yet hidden within this waste is a chemically interesting...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>

3+ Years of Agency and Leadership Experience<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

I'm a green chemistry and sustainability professional with a background in analytical chemistry and environmental science. I help organisations and researchers make sense of complex chemical and environmental challenges through independent analysis, clear communication and practical solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

My work sits at the intersection of chemistry, technology and sustainability\u2014grounded in evidence, driven by curiosity, and committed to impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
