A new project in Cyprus uses waste from olive trees. They make a special material from old olive pits. This material is good for furniture and home decoration. The team is called "Pit to Table". They are solving a problem with olive waste. This new material is a good choice.
The "Pit to Table" idea started some years ago. It got stronger in 2023. This was because they joined a special program. The United Nations helped organize it. The Social Tech Lab also helped. This program made their idea better. Then they made early samples. They also checked if they could sell it.
The idea is called "Pit-board". It is made from olive pits. Olive oil making makes many pits. These pits are hard to store. "Pit to Table" collects the pits. They crush them small. Then they mix them with glue. This glue is from cashew nut shells. The result is a strong board. It can be used inside buildings.
This material looks special. "Pit-board" shows the olive pits. This reminds people it is from nature. It makes furniture look unique. The team says "Pit-board" is good like wood. It is good for designers.
The team worked with a company in Cyprus. This company helps make the material better. They make sure "Pit-board" is strong. The company is in Cyprus. They use local olive waste. This helps the local economy.
What "Pit to Table" does is important. They use things thrown away. This helps the environment. It is a good choice instead of new things. More people want good materials for homes. "Pit to Table" helps our planet.
