Every Olive Leaf Holds a Story-And Liofyllo Reveals It

Have you ever wondered what happens to the olive leaves collected during the harvest? In Greece, one of the world’s leading olive-producing countries, the management of olive production by-products remains a challenge that has yet to find its place in sustainable development. Thousands of tons of leaves end up being burned or discarded without a second thought. And yet, these leaves hold an untapped potential within them.

According to current legislation, olive leaves, along with the olive pit, are considered non-hazardous solid waste. Every year, in Greece alone, an estimated 150,000 tons of such waste are produced. On a European scale, this number exceeds 4.6 million tons! Nevertheless, most research focuses on olive pits, leaving the leaves without any substantial management.

This lack of interest has led to practices such as burning or disposing of the leaves in fields—methods considered harmless, yet they deprive us of a unique opportunity for innovation and sustainability.
