Novel Sophorolipid Biosurfactant

PeelPioneers offers a 100% circular solution for orange peels that in most countries end up getting destroyed in an incinerator. They extract orange oil and other much-wanted raw materials that food manufacturers use in products such as beer, lemonade, muffins and chocolate. The raw materials that PeelPioneers derives from orange peels are also sold to manufacturers of non-food products such as detergents and cosmetics. PeelPioneers is the largest producer of raw materials from citrus peels in Northwest Europe.
