PeelPioneers

The juicers in supermarkets and restaurants make for delicious fresh gravy, but it also results in huge piles of orange peels. PeelPioneers has found a use for that by extracting natural ingredients from the peels, which they apply in food, cosmetics and cleaning products. Meanwhile, in their innovation lab, they are constantly researching how to extract more value from the peels.

"PeelPioneers reuses oranges, a residual product, in a very nice way in visible consumer products like meat substitutes and cosmetics. Nice to see that they work together with all kinds of different parties: from Jumbo to Renewi, from Seepje to Lowlander Bier," says Karen Maas, jury chair for both the Large and Small categories.
