Saudi Arabia's 200M date palms boost sustainable wood market
Sustainable forestry companies in Saudi Arabia are increasingly focusing on utilizing the waste from millions of date palms to convert it into value-added wood products, such as panels used in building homes, furniture, and fire-resistant flooring. Saudi Arabia possesses more than 200 million date palms producing approximately 9.7 million tons of dates annually, with palm frond waste exceeding 800,000 tons per year. The companies rely on technologies such as gasification to convert the waste into energy-rich gas, helping to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. They aim to expand into markets across the Gulf, North Africa, and North America, with a strong intention to reduce dependence on imported timber.
