Japan village turns 40,000 tonnes of discarded scallop shells into stronger safety helmets

This eco-conscious innovation leads to the creation of Shellmet – an exceptionally durable helmet for fishermen, outperforming standard plastic versions. Such developments offer a promising approach to resolving industrial waste concerns sustainably.
