Pistachio shells formerly regarded as waste could be used in wonderful ways and there has been an ever-growing demand for them on the international market. Pistachio shells use for different applications and should not end up in landfills.
The recycling and utilization of agricultural wastes, in specific pistachio wastes, is considered to be an important step in environmental protection, energy structure, and agricultural development.
A few practices for re-use as follows:
It is wonderful that the pistachio soft shell is not a waste as well. It would be useful to extract essential oils to use in various fields such as perfume, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Furthermore, pistachio hull (fresh pistachios shell) to be applied in the textile industry as a source of natural dyes. Making pickles and jams is another great way to use up leftover hulls.
Both soft and hard shells of pistachio are rich in nutrients that contain vitamins and minerals which apply in animal husbandry as food.
Recycling of nutshells such as pistachio, almond, peanut, hazelnut is a modern conversion industry around the world. This trend is also expected to continue in the future. Nut wastes can be used in paper production and the wood industry and could help to reduce cutting down trees and prevent deforestation. Also, nut wastes as biofuels reduce greenhouse gas emissions which mitigate the effects of global warming, produced by fossil fuels. Japan is focusing on cellulose, the principal component of cashew nut shells to bio-plastic production. Australia burns macadamia shell waste to produce renewable energy. Italy uses hazelnut natural wrapping to create packaging for chocolates. Sub-Saharan Africa and India use peanut shells as a solid biofuel.
Considering the approximately 30% of wastes for agricultural products in Iran as well as the importance of the processing industry in reducing wastes, biomass such as pistachio is extremely noteworthy. On average, there are approximately 520,400 tons of pistachio wastes per year in Iran, which is mostly related to the peeling of the product. It can produce about 256,410 tons of bio-oil,121,255 tons of char and 123,898 tons of gas fuel from pistachio wastes by pyrolysis, respectively. Furthermore, the amount of 103.5 million cubic meters of biogas can be achieved using anaerobic fermentation. The potential of 47.6 million liters ethanol production from total pistachio waste can be predicted. Therefore, it has the potential to become a major non-oil export for our country. Countries such as Turkey, Russia, China, and Syria are the main destinations of Iran pistachio shell export. The use of pistachio wastes in addition to economic benefits for investors will have positive environmental effects.
Turkey is a great trading partner export for Iranian pistachio shell and as our neighbor country imports substantial amounts annually from Iran. As regards, electricity production is expensive in turkey, using agricultural residues, in special, nutshells as an alternative to fossil fuels sounds economically, reliably, and sufficiently. In this country, major nutshell consumption is on households and businesses such as bakery products, hotels, universities, and other public buildings for the production of heat and power.
Since nutshell is a multipurpose by-product of nut industries, nut processing manufactories are a suitable place to provide them. Considering that Taher Group is a top-notch organization in production and processing pistachio, so you can buy pistachio shell in bulk safely.. We improve environmental sustainability by running an eco-friendly business. We have a deep commitment to wisely use natural resources and the responsibility to recycle discarded shells of Iranian pistachio due to our ecosystem issues.
