You can grind it up and use it. Its calcium sulphate. I buy it bagged in
granular form and apply it at 500 pounds per acre on tomatoes peppers and
eggplant as a highly soluble source of calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
The sulphur content seems to help the plants nitrogen absorption... Bob.

better use for this "waste".
