From Waste to Resource: The Date Powder Project

Dates have played a central role in Arabian culture and agriculture for thousands of years. This project follows researchers and production teams working to create new uses for agricultural by-products that might otherwise be discarded. Photographed across research laboratories and production facilities, the series traces the journey from scientific experimentation to large-scale manufacturing. It explores themes of innovation, sustainability and resourcefulness while documenting the people responsible for transforming an everyday agricultural product into something entirely new. The project forms part of a broader interest in how science, industry and traditional knowledge can intersect to create practical solutions for contemporary challenges.
