The Remonda project achieves two primary objectives: revaluing orange peel waste and substituting conventional plastics with sustainable alternatives.
Firstly, it reduces waste by integrating orange peel back into production, addressing waste accumulation. Secondly, Remonda replaces conventional plastics with biodegradable options, reducing plastic waste and pollution.
By developing a local supply chain for these alternatives, the project aims to decrease reliance on imports, fostering a more sustainable economy. These efforts promote circular economy principles, crucial in cities like Seville, which discard 6 tons of orange peel annually.
This initiative not only mitigates waste but also drives a shift towards locally sourced, bio-based, and biodegradable materials—a vital move towards sustainability.
The Remonda team comprises Mónica Villoslada Valbuena (Environmental Biotechnologist), Celia María Camacho Montaño (Climate Change Geologist), and Marina Pérez Fernández (International Trade and Marketing Professional).

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Remonda is a limited company dedicated to valorising orange peel through the creation of biomaterials. They have successfully developed a prototype of orange bioplastic using peel waste and organic materials, achieving their goal of bio-based and biodegradable products. Currently, Remonda is focused on finalising their Business Plan, Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and go-to-market strategy.
Their mid-to-long-term strategy involves developing a biopolymer through biotechnological transformation. This biomaterial will not only be bio-based and biodegradable but will also possess optimal characteristics to replace conventional plastics in the packaging industry. To achieve this ambitious goal, Remonda is actively seeking partnerships to provide the necessary infrastructure and funding support.
