Cover Story: The large generation of organic waste poses challenges for research communities and society in general, creating a need for sustainable reuse solutions. This study focuses on valorizing olive pit agro-residues from the olive oil industry as additives in a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) matrix to create bio-based composites for large-format additive manufacturing, particularly fused granular fabrication. Olive pits are ground and functionalized by the polymerization of poly(butylene-co-terephthalate adipate) (PBAT) on their surface, yielding a hydrophobic modified powder with improved compatibility with PETG, which, in turn, enhances the mechanical properties of the composites.
