Abstract

Nowadays recycling is one of the issues that is getting much attention. In this research, the researcher focuses on the study of bringing soil mixed and slit from a wastewater treatment in an industrial process ,and mussel shells, left from food processing, to be recycled and used more usefully. After doing some research and experiments, the researcher found out that soil mixed and slit from a wastewater treatment in an industrial process and mussel shells can make ceramic clays. Thus, the researcher used those recycled clays to create a souvenir ceramic ware for birds. It is a way of turning waste to be useful and also adding some value to products which are benefits for ceramic industries in Thailand in terms of circular supplies use, cost reduction and environmental conservation.
