Eco-Composite Incubator Mats for Better Temperature Control The idea arose from the current low survival rate of incubating eggs because villagers usually use rice straw as a base for incubation. However, there are many gaps and the temperature control is not consistent, leading to poor egg quality and resulting in loss of income and resources for villagers. Therefore, we are interested in creating incubator mats from household waste such as egg shells and agricultural waste to reduce the amount
