nature conceals what science reveals
There was still a secret hidden within the pistachio: the immense potential of its shell.
This is the story of a revelation that transforms a waste product into natural extracts which are good for health and the environment.

The hull, a waste that becomes a resource
Huge quantities of husks from pistachio processing are regularly dumped and burned, polluting the air and causing huge disposal costs for farms.
We want to reverse this trend through a business that focuses on sustainability, innovation and commitment to our land.

How much hull is discarded in Bronte alone?
1000 tonnes of hull
= almost unlimited supply
Considering the Bronte agricultural area alone, around 1000 tonnes of hulls are thrown away during collection activities in two years. An impressive amount of waste, which in Kymia’s vision turns into an almost unlimited supply pool for its extracts.

How do we turn waste into a resource?
sustainable extraction process
hull → extract → product
Each big and small decision at Kymia puts sustainability as a priority. From the production methods to the company’s business choices, including a patent pending extraction process with less environmental impact, the use of natural ingredients and energy-efficient tools.

Pistactive-f®
Its extraction is achieved through a process that enhances the plant’s phytocomplex and gives the extract a strong antioxidant power, ranking it among the best natural ingredients for cosmetics and beyond.
These potentials make the extract a highly valuable ingredient for cosmetics and have allowed its use to expand to food & beverage and nutraceuticals.
Pistactive-f® can be supplied in either liquid or freeze-dried form, depending on the desired uses.
