The 3.5 Mohs hardness of the pistachio shell allows for a wide range of micron sizes to be used. Pistachio shell powder, like walnut shell granules and olive stone powder, may be used to get excellent outcomes in material science. A high-quality, bio-based component is sought by traditional plastic and wood-based material makers to replace synthetic microparticles in the manufacturing of novel goods. This encompasses the following:
Polyethylene and polyurethane fillers in composites, such as wood-plastic composites, are typically replaced with our bio-powders. The low bulk density of pistachio shell powder also makes it an excellent choice for low-volume applications. When it comes to fruit stone powders, the density is substantially lower than that of calcium carbonate or other mineral powders used in MDF panels (medium-density fibreboards).
Surface claddings, furniture, artwork, and ornamental finishes benefit greatly from this property. Paints, resins, glues, and inks may all benefit from the usage of pistachio shell powder as an ecologically acceptable replacement for wood. Biomaterials, medical implants, automobile parts, shipbuilding and aircraft parts, ceramics, and office supplies are all examples of what may be 3D printed with this technique.
Fruit stone powders and bio-based abrasives from BioPowder are among the best in the industry. Chemicals are not used in the production of these items. Sustainable development is at the heart of our business model, and we take great pride in the excellent quality of our goods and the exceptional level of service we give.
INDUSTRIAL USES FOR PISTACHIO SHELLS
You may be concerned about water and air pollution caused by industry, particularly heavy metal ions discharged in water. Environmental experts have spent years trying to eliminate pollution. Activated carbon is a key element. Activated carbon is a porous substance with a high specific surface area that absorbs gases and liquids.
Activated carbon is effective in removing organic molecules from air and water, hence it’s used in wastewater treatment and gas purification (including exhaust gas filtering).
Activated carbon has many uses: in the water, industry to remove unwanted taste, odor, or color from factory water waste; in gas, refineries to sweeten gas; in the petrochemical industry and oil refineries to purify pharmaceutical drugs as well as edible and industrial oils, and in recycling solutions and chemicals.
This is composed of wood, coal, coconut shell, vegetable coal, shells, kernel, fruit stone, fruit seeds, hulls and husks, and rayon and polyacrylonitrile. Next is activation, which might be physical or chemical. Activated carbon is powder, granular, and spherical.
Coal has been the most popular resource used to manufacture activated carbon for years, however owing to environmental concerns and the expensive cost of this material, scientists have considered replacing coal with coconut shells, wood, walnut shell, pistachio shell, olive seed, and other organic waste materials.
Since nuts and pistachios are abundant in Iran, their shells are cheap. Pistachio shells may be utilized to produce activated carbon due to their availability, cheap cost, little environmental impact, and high absorption capacity.
INSF-funded research at Kerman University utilized pistachio shells to make activated carbon. To boost activated carbon’s adsorption ability, acidic groups have been immobilized on the carbon.
Their study optimizes pH, contact duration, and beginning concentration. Activated carbon bio composite as a heavy metal ion and organic contaminant adsorbent from aqueous solution and industrial effluent has also been studied.
PISTACHIO SHELL USES FOR SKIN
We grind and filter our pistachio shell powder either into fine powders or coarser granules in order to treat the raw material. It’s sourced locally and weighed meticulously to ensure it meets the highest quality requirements, with a total weight of no more than 400kg.
There’s enough to go around, thanks to a recent uptick in interest in pistachio growing in Spain. Pistachio trees cover 25,000 acres of land, according to government authorities. Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucia, and Aragón are the three areas where the majority of pistachios are farmed.
The demand for pistachios on both the domestic and foreign markets has been steadily increasing. You may get a good amount of protein and fiber as well as B vitamins as well as manganese, magnesium, and iron from pistachios (the soft nut within the shell). “Superfood” goods including desserts, cereals, and vegan/vegetarian recipes have been incorporating quinoa.
The shells of pistachios have a distinctive beige or white tint. As a result, the powder is very fine, resembling real marble grains in certain cases. Pistachio shell granules may be used in a variety of ways because of their unusual color. It has a high opacity, excellent dispersion, and a soft texture in the micron ranges (0-300 nm).
Pistachio shell granules are a highly sought-after natural component utilized mostly by cosmetic formulators as a Brushing your teeth with a dental abrasive can improve the mechanical cleansing impact of tubes of toothpaste whitening agent for vegan and natural face powders and cosmetics foundations, as well as other types of skin exfoliators.
carriers of colors, scents, fragrances, and fragrance oils; substrate for biodegradable glitter soap texturizer; peeling grains in soapmaking; rheology modifier in solid and semi-liquid formulas (e.g., creams, balms, ornamental cosmetics).

WHAT ARE PISTACHIO SHELLS MADE OF
Pistachio shells seem to be composed of lipids and cellulose with no traces of inorganic substances. According to the function of the shell at that depth, the concentrations of triglyceride and cellulose fluctuate according to the depth of the shell.
Luckily, pistachio shells compost. Pistachio shells compost well. Using compost, particularly pistachio shell compost is a good method to feed your plants. Compost is healthier for the environment than commercial fertilizers since it retains moisture, enriches the soil, and fights insects and plant diseases. Compost reduces carbon emissions by decreasing chemical fertilizer usage.
Shells take a few years to degrade, thus they make the compost lighter, although adding mass. Pistachios help retain water. Shells make ideal compost for your vegetable patch or flower beds, but are unsuitable for planting little seeds or potting fragile infant plants.
You shouldn’t put shells in the compost bin whole. If you add them intact, they may not degrade for two years. Instead of throwing, smash them first. If broken or powdered, they degrade faster.
Unsalted pistachio shells should also be composted. Salted pistachios are OK in the garbage if you just have a few and the pile is enormous. Too much salt in the compost bin ruins the soil. The salt destroys microbes and bacteria in compost, slowing the process.
Use unsalted pistachio shells in your compost to be safe. The salted shells may be soaked overnight to remove the salt. For the record, other nuts and nutshells may be used in the compost bin, but avoid salted nuts and nutshells.
Pistachio shells make great chunky ‘brown’ compost. Browns are carbon-rich and give structure and aeration to compost. You may speed up their decomposition by crushing them before throwing them in. Soak full shells overnight to soften them. The next day, put the shells and water in your compost heap.
USES FOR PISTACHIO SHELLS
The Pistacia vera tree, sometimes known as the pistachio tree, is a long-lived desert shrub that is indigenous to the Middle East. It bears clusters of drupes that are very small and reddish in color. Pistachio drupes cannot mature into healthy nuts unless the summers are very long, very hot, and very dry.
When the fruit is ready to be picked, both the soft peel on the outside and the hard shell on the inside split apart with a distinct cracking sound. After the peel has been removed, what is left behind is the beige shell that is cracked open slightly and contains the well-known and much-loved seed.
The high nutrient content of these seeds makes them an excellent choice for a snack that can be enjoyed without feeling guilty. Pistachios are an excellent source of dietary fiber, lean protein, and heart-healthy fats, and they also include a diverse collection of vitamins and minerals.
If you eat pistachios on a regular basis, you’ve probably given some thought to the question of what, if anything, can be done with the shells of the nuts. nPistachio shells that have not been salted may be put to many different applications in the garden (and even outside the garden!).
If you like salted pistachios, make sure to give them a thorough washing and let them dry completely before you use them anywhere near soil or plants. Plants may suffer damage from an excessive amount of salt in the soil, which can also cause plants to wilt.
