Material Description

A polymer composite made of almond shells that can be used to make a material rigid for applications like furniture production and material coating in interior design.

Material Sourcing

Obtained from the waste of the almond industry.

Forming Methods

Ground almond shells are mostly cellulose and can be processed to desired shape in molding presses. Almond polymer composites can be processed in similar ways to timber like sawing, milling, and gluing.

Sustainability

Compostable and recyclable.

Replaced wood with plant waste products.

Raw material grows faster than wood.

Biodegradable if made without crude oil.

Physical Properties

Strong, durable, airtight, thermoplastic processing properties.
