Zero Waste in the Tree Nut Industry: Adding Value to Coproducts

Food losses represent up to 40% for fruits and nuts. With that, the almond industry, spearheaded by the Almond Board of California, has committed to zero waste by 2025, meaning that the industry needs to create viable end-uses for their coproducts – everything from orchard to table.

Peanut Husk Panels for Use in Architecture and Design

This article is the result of a study involving research, development and innovation. It describes the problem of the overabundance of peanut husks in places where the selection and processing of peanuts takes place. Peanut husks, or shells, are the natural packaging of the seed, which grows underground. The natural properties of the husk which are essential to the growth and protection of the seed while underground are the very properties which mean they do not easily biodegrade. Using this by-product from the peanut industry, this project has created agglomerated polymer matrix panels with properties similar to those of industrialized wood panels, whose applications are oriented towards architecture and object design.
