Limescale is a form of calcium carbonate, a common building material otherwise referred to as limestone. Research into the recycling of limescale waste, which at present is overlooked and discarded, suggests that it could be harvested and re-used as a building material by employing a chemical process to bind the inorganic material together. This would greatly reduce the need for quarrying and therefore reduce the impact on the landscape.
