MATERIAL EXPLORATION USING SEASHELL WASTE CONCRETE MIXTURES BY BRINGING UP SUSTAINABLE TREND AS AN EFFORT TO INCREASE THE VALUE AND SELLING VALUE OF A SANITARY SET

Abstract

Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta and is the capital of East Java Province. Located on the north coast of Java Island, Surabaya has an important role in Indonesia’s economy, politics and culture. Apart from that, Surabaya also has interesting tourism destinations, one of which is Kenjeran Beach which is a popular recreation spot. Kenjeran Beach is currently filled with shellfish waste. This phenomenon affects the image of dirty beaches in Surabaya because there is a lack of innovation in the use of shell waste which results in this waste being scattered around. The use of seashells is often limited to home decoration or decorative items and even mixed with animal feed for animals. Producing new products by utilizing shellfish waste as the main raw material requires innovation in design. Therefore, the author wants to design a sanitary set that uses processed shell waste using concrete casting techniques. The product will be designed using the industrial design movement, along with new innovative features, not only in materials but also in material construction.
